I am thinking of buying the British VRI cd from the latter day saints. I wondered if it was worthwhile. Katherine.

It very much depends which county you are interested in. Lincs has 390,709 births but Leics has only 611 (and 87 marriages)! If you are looking for the wrong places, you could be very disappointed.

Thanks Geoff. I will be mostly looking for Lancs information so I will try to find out how many records are listed for this county.

Yes Lancs has the most entries of all (but its a populous county).

I got caught out by believing the London info would be evenly spread but it's not....so I haven't had much value.
