Some of you who are list managers at RootsWeb or who otherwise use their services, have already seen this announcement, but I thought it might be of general interest to anyone who has English ancestors. ROOTSWEB REVIEW: RootsWeb's Genealogy News Vol. 3, No. 39, 27 September 2000 PARISH REGISTERS (U.K.). In its early stage, the goal of this ambitious project is to transcribe every U.K. parish register and make the transcriptions available on these pages. At the moment there are transcriptions or partial transcriptions of five registers of parishes in Hampshire, England and one in Somerset, England. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pinks/ or http://www.parishregisters.co.uk The four Hampshire parishes are Colemore, East Meon, Farringdon, Newton Valence, and Priors Dean. The Somerset parish is Bruton. As an example, the Colemore records (1563-1975) are broken down into eight sections and the first group is Chr, Mar, Bur 1563-1762. All events are sorted by names and dates for easy access. Not all of the events have been transcribed yet for Colemore. The pages are very well done and you might want to monitor the site as more parishes are added. Fletch
