Nonconformist records for England and Wales available online.
Nonconformist records are essential for those families who did not have a baptism, marriage, or burial take place in a Church of England or Church of Wales ceremony. As a result the Nonconformist records need to be looked at if you ancestor does not show up in the Church of England or Wales records.
Online at http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk/ is an index being complied from RG 4, RG 5, RG 6, RG 7, RG 8 RG 32 RG 33, RG 34 RG 35 RG 36 BT 158, BT 159 and BT 160.
This website came online on September 14, 2007.
''I have generated this partial report from the article Online! Key records pre-1837 Nonconformist church records from Family Tree Magazines article from the October 2007 issue on pages 14 and 15.''
This article shows what records are in the BT and RG numbers series from the National Archives.
The Family History Library has some of the RG 4 and RG 5 records and most of the RG 4 series of what the Family History Library has was extracted and put into the International genealogical Index for Births and Baptisms.
As a result, both the International Genealogical Index and [http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk www.bmdregisters.co.uk] should be looked at for nonconformist records. As time goes by the website will more records available and your search may be fruitful.
The index to the bmdreisters.co.uk is free to use, but to look at the details or the image of the record [http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk www.bmdregisters.co.uk] is a pay website, but could very well be the answer. The International Genealogical Index is free to use at [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org]. Some entry are also on the British Isles Vital records Index. However, the original records can be viewed free at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. <br>
