A good idea for knowing what records to search for but not everyone is looking for English records (at least I'm guessing these dates are for England).

Might be better broken down under each thread. Many times people post requests for records that simply don't exist and a list might help them to know what is and isn't available.

Hi Jane,
"to give the child a name .....", what you are suggesting is a genealogical Time Line
Probably it would be easiest to add a bit more text, with seperate lines for events in any country (UK, USA, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, etc, etc ..... ) ....
1538 - Parish registers started in England and Wales
1837 - 1 July. Civil registration starts for England and Wales
1841 - 6 June. Census night in England and Wales
1851 - 30 March. Census night in England and Wales.
1855 -  Civil registration starts in Scotland
etc,
I would go one step further:
If people like the idea of a Genealogical Time Line, they could add various items here, to this topic, and I could summarise them in a
Genealogical Time Line for the RootsChat Reference Library
rather than having "yet another sticky" on various boards.

Excellent idea Jane ... and good that Bob can put it in the 'right' place for all of us to find.
Can someone list/add the Canada and US censuses, please ... and their dates ...

There is a USING THIS BOARD topic on most counties and countries.
If we decide to go ahead with this, then we could always add a line to these "How to .." topics, with the 'Time Line' address, rather than adding a new sticky topic.
Many newcomers (and regulars) don't read them anyway, but at least we can say "we tried"

English/Welsh censuses:
10 Mar 1801 No longer exists, with a few exceptions
27 May 1811 No longer exists, with a few exceptions
28 May 1821 No longer exists, with a few exceptions
30 May 1831 No longer exists, with a few exceptions
19 June 1921 100 year closure
26 April 1931 Destroyed during WW2
29 September 1939 WW2 National Registration - 100 year closure
8 April 1951 100 year closure
23 April 1961 100 year closure
25 April 1971 100 year closure
5 April 1981 100 year closure
21 April 1991 100 year closure
29 April 2001 100 year closure
incidently, while you're waiting, I think most of the english/welsh dates are
already in Census UK, Dates in the
RootsChat Reference Library => Lexicon (click here)

I would find it really useful to have on easy access the census dates, it would help no end when trying to work out when ancestors were born etc.
But none of these helps such as lexicon are much use unless there is an obvious link to them which is why I have a very large list of rootschat bookmarks.

Hi Jane, and everybody else,
just keep adding any dates here that you think are important enough to go in the time line, and I'll carry on from there ..... probably next week end, when I next have a bit of spare time
so far we have some dates for
start of parish records
start of civil registration
additions to civil registration certs.
censuses
Anything at all along these lines, which is often being asked
"when did they start ..... ", "when was .... ", etc.
Bob
ps.
Jane,
I've modified the title to help it stand out more
