Hi. I have seen some requests for help regarding records from this area. I wondered if everyone on the list was familiar with the new LDS website where they have microfilmed records online to search? They are testing the site and you are required to register and they want feedback about how you like the set up of the website. There are not a lot of records there yet but one that some on this list might be interested in searching. You have to browse these particular records and they are not ALL the records for the area but someone might find something. They have the " England Diocese of Durham Bishops Transcripts, 1700 - 1900". You can find the website here: http://search.labs.familysearch.org/ Margaret
