+'''Class topic:''' "Civil Registration Indexes of England and Wales"
+'''Description''': These indexes are widely available, and used by everyone researching English and Welsh ancestors from 1837 onwards. The story behind them is fascinating, and knowing how the indexes were made helps us use them more effectively. From entries in register books to the parchment, paper, microfiche and online indexes, we examine the processes used, and the introduction of new technologies as they became available - from carbon paper to computers. There are local as well as national indexes, and recent innovations at the General Register Office have opened up some new possibilities for researchers, with some completely new indexes not available anywhere else. Further developments are proposed.
