=== Civil Registration | ==Introduction== | ||
When civil registration of births, marriages and deaths began in 1837, Suffolk was divided into a number of [http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SFK/RegDists.shtml registration districts], each containing several parishes. The districts were formed in close relationship to the [http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SFK/RegDists.shtml#Suffolk%20Hundreds Hundreds in the County] that had existed for hundreds of years for administrative, military, and judicial purposes. There was a major reorganization of [http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/sfk.htm districts] in 1935; thereby, many of the historical districts created in 1837 were replaced with new names and boundaries. Certificates can be obtained from district registrars in Suffolk as well as the General Register Office. There is a duplicate of the marriage certificate in the parish where the marriage took place; therefore, it may be found in a microfilm copy of the parish registers. There is no duplicate of a birth certificate or death certificate at the parish level. Consult the [[England Civil Registration|England Civil Registration]] page for an in-depth understanding. The [http://maps.familysearch.org/#search?centerLat=52.2967220498974?centerLng=1.0546875?zoom=9?selectionType=County?selectionID=Suffolk England 1851 Jurisdiction] maps provide an interactive view of the parishes in relation to district boundaries.

===Civil Registration Indexes=== | |||
By identifying a person in the civil registration indexes, one is able to order a certificate from the [http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ General Register Office]. There are many sites that provide access to the civil registration indexes. [http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ FreeBMD] is a preferred site since it provides free access and it has an excellent search capacity.([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSXwl8zulc watch youtube video)] FreeBMD searches can be conducted on a district level, county level or national level. One also can search the [http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/BirthsMarriagesAndDeaths/SuffolkRegistrationOffices/Listing.htm district registrar] indexes in person at their offices. The General Register Office indexes do not correspond with the indexes at the district level. | |||
