 Many parish records have been extracted by the LDS Church and may be found in the IGI, with the transcription of&nbsp;excerpts of the information from those parish&nbsp;records also to be found in the Family Search Historical Records Collection.&nbsp; Indexed images are not yet available on Family Search.&nbsp;Many browsable images (unindexed, but with waypoints) are beginning to appear in the Family Search Historical Records Collection.&nbsp; The Hugh Wallis index of IGI batch numbers, which also gives the coverage in Cornwall by parish and years, is found at [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyCornwall.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyCornwall.htm]&nbsp;&nbsp;

 The original Methodist Registers can be seen at the Cornwall Record Office, and much has been filmed by the LDS Church and is in the Family History Library collection. The Family History Library also has filmed a large part of the parish records in Cornwall, as well as parish chest, probate, and other records. The online catalog on [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org] is easily searchable where one can see what is available in the Family History Library. The GENUKI pages on Cornwall and each individual parish also give a comprehensive listing of what records are available in the Family History Library as well as records from other sources.
