The value of parish records
Parish records are invaluable when tracing your ancestry as they go back much further than birth, marriage and death records. You can search parish records for baptisms, marriages and burials that date back as far as 1538 on findmypast.co.uk
The Federation of Family History Societies distributes its members’ records in partnership with findmypast.co.uk. Many family history societies contribute their records to make our parish records collection as comprehensive as it is. You can read more about the societies that contribute on our FFHS data providers page.
When you’ve found your ancestors in our parish records you’ll realise just how useful they are.
