Please read the introduction to this site to learn more. The search is&nbsp;focused&nbsp;on the&nbsp;USA or UK. The search is by&nbsp;parish/towns&nbsp;in the&nbsp;counties.&nbsp;Each of the record&nbsp;batches&nbsp;are listed alphabetically by place,&nbsp;with notations of&nbsp;time periods, separated into groups of christenings or marriages records. The site does not contain a list of names but is a portal to the specific parish record linked to transcribed records on the [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org] web site by searching for a surname. If you are not able to enter the batch number, try using a common surname. When the search page is connected, surnames can also be changed from search to search. First name only searches are possible, parent searches are possible, father only searches using his surname or first name&nbsp;are also possible. The results show spelling varations of the surname. Transcribed records may still have omitted information found in the orginal record.&nbsp;<br>

 Some church records have been destroyed by fire, lost, stolen, defaced, or damaged by dampness or aging. To protect their records, most parishes have deposited their early registers in county record offices. Addresses of the county record offices are given in: Humphery-Smith, Cecil R., ''The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers''. Second Edition. Chichester, Sussex: Phillimore &amp; Company, 1995. (FHL book {{FHL|752598|title-id|disp=942 E7pa 1995}}.)
