-See [[England Archives and Libraries#County Archives, Libraries, Museums, and Record Offices|'''County Archives, Libraries, Museums, and Record Offices''']], above for links to an Archives and Libraries Wiki article for each county .<br>
-*In England each, county has one or more offices that house records about the particular county. Records of genealogical value in these offices include '''land records, church records, taxation records, probate records, miscellaneous indexes, and collections.'''
-*Some county record offices have '''personal or place-name indexes''' to some of the records in their collection.
-*County record offices are open to the public. Some require a reader’s ticket.
-*If you write for information, '''be as concise as possible'''. The offices are small and have limited staff, so you may have to wait a few weeks for a reply.
-*If staff members are unable to search their records, you may ask for a list of record agents who can search the records for you.
