England Emigration and Immigration: Difference between revisions

Once you have traced your family back to an English emigrant, you must determine the parish where he or she lived. If the individual immigrated after 1 July 1837, you may find the place of origin by using the general indexes to births, marriages, and deaths. (See the "[[England Civil Registration|Civil Registration]]".) There is no complete nationwide index to pre-1837 birth, marriage, or death records. The following web sites hold the largest amount of pre-1837 data''':''' [http://familysearch.org FamilySearch.org]'s with about 150 million entries, [http://www.findmypast.com/welcome.jsp?_zga_s=1 findmypast], with at least 80 million, in its Church records databases, [http://freereg.org.uk FreeReg], with about 12 million, and new.FamilySearch has old IGI (International Genealogical Index) data for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or otherwise available to view with asistance at FHCs (Family History Centres worldwide--see FamilySearch.org) for the general public.  (See [[England Genealogy|England Genealogy]]), (see the "Indexes to Marriages" in [[England Church Records|England Church Records]]) are partial national indexes that you can try before searching emigration records.
