RESEARCH AND ADVICE
|
|
What is the Name Index and how can I use it? It is a large database comprising over 600,000 surnames and forenames (or initials where full forenames are not available) associated with Surrey parishes. This has been complied by dedicated volunteers transcribing records, some handwritten in pencil, over a number of years. The Name Index will continually grow and improve so come back from time to time to see what has been added. It includes Parish registers, Monumental Inscriptions and Poor Law records. There is a £5 charge for a search of this database which can be paid via Parish Chest using this link https://www.parishchest.com/east-surrey-family-history-society-4681.php 1. Once payment has been made, you will be contacted for names, dates and places – please be as specific as possible. 2. A list will be generated showing the number of entries found 3. Once you have studied the list, please email for further details of the individuals(s) stating required surname(s) and associated place(s). |
