I expect that someone has asked this before, but I really don't know what the VRI index is and what it contains. Can someone please give me an "idiots guide" as to what its all about and what/where it covers? Thanks ShirleyB

From the box Contains approx 10.4 million birth and christening records and 1.9 million marriage records from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Civil and chuch records dated from 1530 to 1906 It does not contain all available records from this time period or from those localities. Hope that helps a bit
