The records that were extracted from original source documents were only ever a small fraction of all existing records. No original images are included. The records are arranged in batches and sometimes it is useful to know what batches correspond to a particular place. [http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/ Archersoftware], while a few years out of date, provides batch information for the entire British Isles. A very large percentage of records (80%+) were indexed for Bedfordshire, Cumberland, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire. There are still millions of records from the other counties, and every single county is included.

To find records from a particular place, use the FamilySearch Catalog. Look under "church records" and find the religion, year and record type of interest. If an index is available for the records, a magnifying glass symbol will appear. If a camera symbol also appears, the images are also accessible from any computer. A camera symbol with a key indicates the image is only accessible from a FHC or Affiliate Library. A microfilm symbol means that the images are not yet available online, and can only be viewed on microfilm at the FHL in Salt Lake City.

The Family History Library contains an extensive collection of English church records. The most common are:
*Parish registers from their beginning up to the nineteenth century or later
*Bishops’ transcripts from 1598 up to the mid- 19th century
*Transcripts of parish registers
*Parish chest records
*Registers of nonconformist churches to 1837 (sometimes later)
To find church records from a particular place, use the FamilySearch Catalog. Look under the "Church records" subheading and find the religion, year, and record type of interest. If an index is available for the records, a magnifying glass symbol will appear. If a camera symbol also appears, the images are also accessible from any computer. A camera symbol with a key indicates the image is only accessible from a Family History Center or Affiliate Library. A microfilm symbol means that the images are not yet available online, but can be viewed on microfilm at the FHL in Salt Lake City.
