Best place to find parish records for Wiltshrie online

[murphy0383]

Hello could anyone point to what would be a good site to find Parish records for Wiltshire. Im quite keen to find a decent site where i can look up the parish records for my family but i dont want to be paying money for a subscription and then it turns out i cant find the information i need.

If anyone knows of a good site where i can look up Parish records please can you help me?

Many thanks

Hi

You might want to check out the Wiltshire resources page on the Wiltshire board on rootschat http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,40.0.html as that may have links to some online parish records.

You could also try www.wiltshirebmd.org.uk for Births, Marriages and Deaths in Wiltshire, although this is incomplete at the moment it is still very useful.

The largest single collection of parish record indexes on the internet is the IGI

This site will give you some idea as to what is available on the IGI for Wiltshire - although it is a little dated

I find the familyhistoryonline a good site for parish records - you can search free of charge, so if nothing is found - no cost. it also has details as to what records are available

For specific parishes, try googling the parish name

In most cases you are only going to find indexes and/or transcriptions online. For original records or film of same you usually have to visit Records Offices and/or Family history centres
