Herts Parish Records.

Herts Archives and Library Service (HALS)
http://www.hertsdirect.org/libsleisure/heritage1/HALS/
Holds all surviving parish records for Hertfordshire.  HALS does not offer these for sale on microfiche, only microfilm, so very few people own them.  A lot of parishes have been indexed by HALS and all Herts marriages up to 1837 have been indexed. (Allen Index)  This has been computerised and extended by Brian Gravestock and some marriages after 1837 have also been indexed. This together with many other records is available online.

Most of Hertfordshire's main libraries have Local Studies Rooms.  As well as containing lots of interesting local history books, they also contain microfilm of the parish records for that area. 

Herts Family History Society
The HFHS has indexed a large proportion of Herts burials which are available online – pay to view at the Federation of Family History Societies website.

BVRI

Herts coverage on the British Vital Records Index, published the LDS, is very good, and many members own this, but if the baptism which you are looking for is not recorded there, or on the IGI,
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true then the only real option is HALS.

All pre-1837 Hertfordshire marriage are now online courtesy of HALS.
