Hi,
It is some little time ago now that I used the Family Search Records and having recently logged on found everything completely changed. I remember there used to be church records online where you could search through the registers church by church but I cannot remember what it was called. Does anyone know if this is still available please?
Thank you
Cathy
If you are looking for the registers for a particular place or church, go to 'search' in the listings along then top, then down to 'catalog'.
Under 'Place', put in the name of your town or village and hit search.
Go down to 'church records', and you will get a list of the films they hold for that place.
Hopefully there will be one for the church you're looking for.
There are generally ones for the parish church (or churches), plus other churches or chapels like non-conformist Methodists etc.
You'll see there are also other films that come up besides 'church records' which may be worth looking at too.
You need to register an account with familysearch.org (free), and then you can look at many of the millions of films free at home. Sometimes the film symbol has a little key over it, which means you can only view it at an LDS library, or affiliate library. Luckily our city library is classed as an affiliate library, so those locked films can be looked at there.
Added:
If you've found a record for a person, and want to look at that particular film, you can also get to the film by taking note of the film number, which will be on the entry, and then under 'catalog', go down to 'film number', and enter it there.
Just another way of getting to it.
