Link: Internet Archive - old published transcripts
« on: Monday 15 February 10 21:31 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

There's a tremendous resource for genealogists at the Internet Archive:
http://www.archive.org/

This is a project by libraries (mainly US, but also some Canadian and UK) to digitise their old, out of copyright books and make them available for free on the internet. Googlebooks are included.

If you put "suffolk AND parish" in the search box and select mediatype "Text" you get 19 results, most of which are books of parish register transcripts. You can read them on-line or download a PDF to browse.

Playing about with the search term can bring up other books of interest.

Works for other counties too  ;D
