A more detailed explanation of these records is available in the [https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/England_Cornwall_Church_of_England_Parish_Registers_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) FamilySearch Research Wiki]. Not all of the images available on microfilm at the Family History Library have been posted on the Family Search Historical Record collection, and not all parish registers are in the library catalogue. However, the remainder of the unfilmed registers at the Cornwall Record Office were filmed in 2011, and it is intended that the images will ultimately be posted and indexed. No Cornwall PR's have as yet been indexed by Family Search, but that portion of the collection for which images have been posted can be browsed and specific entries can be found with the use of the waypoints on that site. A researcher can use the [http://www.onlineparishclerks.org.uk/ Online Parish Clerks] site to find the location and date of a specific event (making that database function as an index to the collection on Family Search), and can then find and view the actual images in the Family Search Historical Records Collection. | *{{RecordSearch|1769414|Cornwall Parish Registers, 1538-2010}}: Courtesy of ''FamilySearch Historical Record Collections''.

The parish record collection of the Cornwall Family History Society that was formerly on the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS) website is now searchable at FindMyPast.co.uk (£). These are transcriptions and do not include actual images of the parish registers, but are useful and generally accurate. | The parish record collection of the Cornwall Family History Society that was formerly on the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS) website is now searchable at FindMyPast.co.uk (£).
