- This webinar introduces you to some of the sources available prior to civil registration. Our expert sets out record sources available which may facilitate family history research in the late 18th and early 19th century, discussing possible sources for different types of information.
Brilliant. This is so informative and so clearly presented. I was just starting to flounder, and now I have many new options. Thank you so much!
Thank you - I found this very interesting and informative. I've been doing this for a while but need to dig a bit deeper and this has opened my eyes quite a bit as to where to proceed. Very well presented too, a pleasure to listen to and watch.
Sadly not all records have been or will ever be scanned and made available to view online.
Makes research very difficult for those who are on the other side of the world and can’t visit in person.
Definitely need to see those originals for all the information they contain.
Great vlog, thanks for sharing. Hope you make others in the future.
Agreed. I've had a "brick wall" that I've been trying to solve from Canada for 20 years. Digitization needs to become a priority - especially as originals age/crumble and the costs of transatlantic travel increase. Wishing you the best in your research, John!
Cannot be stressed enough to Always look at the original record. It’s not unusual to have the clergy member make marginal notes, perhaps a birthdate in a baptismal register or even the name of the unwed father but also very helpful social history notes. In the parish register for West Newton, Norfolk, in 1832 the vicar noted it was the year that started the cholera epidemic that entered via Sunderland from India, thus likely explaining the increase in deaths in his parish or why would he have made the note? No death certificates at that date to confirm but a lead to follow up for possible newspaper articles that could detail an outbreak in the area, death notices in the paper, added information on headstones,etc. One lead brings another!
@@pamelaspooner7183 great advice and so true! It's important to keep going, and ask others what their strategies and advice might be... All it takes is that one special record, story, or history and BOOM you're on a roll again. 😊 Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
@@milutii Hey Melody - I’m a property historian based in London. Maybe I can help?
I really tried listening, but to much echo
