An entry about them in a parish magazine could give you an entirely new perspective on an ancestor, and open up potential new avenues of family history research. Alternatively, information in parish magazines about baptisms, marriages and burials might provide you with vital clues for your genealogy research, or help to fill gaps in your family tree. By indexing the names mentioned in Victorian parish magazines, and other church journals, we are producing on CDs a wealth of information specifically designed for use by family history researchers and genealogists.

The majority of our CDs contain name index data, with basic details of each name mentioned in the magazines for a specific parish - see our Types of Data page for examples of the data contained on these index CDs. An increasing number of our CDs also include scanned images of the original magazines, together with a simple name index.
