-:"There are around 200 ancient parishes in Berkshire: we hold the registers for all but one. Taken together with around 100 Victorian or later parishes, if you have Berkshire ancestors, you may be able to discover nearly 500 years of family history.
-:The English parish church was a key secular institution until the Victorian period. It was responsible for poor relief, running local charities, and even local roads and law enforcement. As a result, the 'parish chest' contains a lot more than just the registers. A small number of other parish records are listed on our [https://www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/search-catalogue online catalogue], but the majority are not, so please do [https://www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/contact-us Contact Us] if you are interested in other parish records.<ref>"Parish Registers and Other Records", at Berkshire Record Office, https://www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/family-history/parish-registers-and-other-records, accessed 14 February 2023.</ref>
