To find an ancestor in church records, you should know his religion and the parish where he lived. The Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalogue usually uses the parish names as given in The Imperial Gazetteer. See the [[England Gazetteers|England Gazetteers]] in the Wiki for this source and for other help in finding a parish. | [[Image:All Saints' Church, Northallerton8.jpg|thumb|right|194x400px]]To find an ancestor in church records, you should know his religion and the parish where he lived.

Local residents sometimes referred to their parish by the name of the parish patron saint (such as St. John) rather than by the location of the parish. In cities where there is more than one parish, the Family History Library Catalogue uses the patron saint’s name with the name of the city to identify records of different parishes. | Local residents sometimes referred to their parish by the name of the parish patron saint (such as St. John) rather than by the location of the parish.
