LDS centres can get PRs in for you if prior notice is given...,those Ive looked at at LDSC on fiche IGI are just extracted information and not what you see on fiche at a RO / Archive where they have images of the actual register. |

Thanks Kay???? that is exactly what I wanted to know. I'd rather see the actual register images so guess it's a trip to Stafford. |

LDS have films of parish registers. Have a look at their catalogue for the parish you're interested in. Looking at a film/fiche of the IGI is surely just what can be seen online - i.e not actual images. |

Are you saying the the LDS fiches are fiches of transcriptions, and not of the original records? So additional info in the original records, e.g. witneses of a marriage, won't show on an LDS fiche? |

The microfilms/fiche I've viewed at CLDS have been actual photographed copies of the parish registers with the curate's or clergymen's comments. Such as weather conditions, visiting dignataries, and unknown soldiers from the Napoleonic Wars dying, frozen in a ditch outside the village. |

The microfilms that you can order through your LDS are original images of the parish records. The microfiche that they already have at the centres are transcribed. |

Hmmm, I guess it depends on the country. Whether ordered or not I've always had copies of the originals. |
