Hi Wendi,
for you and everybody else who doesn't know this excellent resource,
here is a description which appears on almost every Online Parish Clerk (OPC) site:
An Online Parish Clerk (OPC) researches all the available historical data they can find on a parish, records are transcribed, and in order to promote further private research, are made FREELY available to any researcher. This will include census, parish transcripts, bishop's transcripts and churchwardens accounts, overseers accounts, land tax records, postal directory extracts, church & village histories, etc. An OPC is a volunteer and should not be confused with the civil Parish Clerk appointed by a Parish Council.Some OPC sites have on-line databases, which you can search,
others tend to concentrate on offering look-ups.
Coincidently, just yesterday, I entered a description of the Dorset OPC site on RootsChat at
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,46534.0.htmlFor other sites, enter OPC in the RootsChat search engine,
you will also find RootsChatters opinions of these sites.
Offhand I can think of Dorset, Cornwall, Devon, Lancashire, Kent, Wiltshire and Sussex,
who are part of the OPC Project.
Several RootsChatters are OPCs or are actively engaged in this project.
Hope this gives an idea of the possibilities,
Bob
