Janice, how do you find the parish records on Familysearch. I use this site alot, but can't say I have seen that facility. I am very interested in Northamptonshire |

I think they usually come up as part of the results from the International Genealogical Index, Julia - it's just that you have to check the records individually to see whether they are extracted (from parish records) or submitted (sent in by site users - can mean they're very accurate or can mean they're sheer fantasy in some cases). |

Thanks Kate and BrinsleyS, it appears that I am doing this already. I thought from reading the above, that there was a way on the IGI, that you could find a particular record for a particular parish, which in my case, is Northamptonshire, then enter a persons name. |

Yes Paula, that is exactly what I mean, but I can only bring up a list of countries, and select England, not areas within a country. |

Deborah, many thanks,but I might be being abit thick here. When I want to use that site, I type in familysearch.org, and it takes me to a page where there are several options. I click on the first one, which takes me to the next page, wher I type in the persons name, birth/marriage/death, year of birth, and a drop down list of countries. I have only known how to do it ,this way. Once in, I scroll down the list of all people with the name I am looking for, until I find the right one. If there is a batch number, then I click on it. I have never, ever seen a facility where I can select a particular county, on my computer screen. If I have got this wrong, then I apologise |

Just had a go at this, and although I could not find the person I was looking for, I did make it work |
