They do not seem to have an email or web address. I am interested in parish records. The Local Studies Centre at Sunderland City Library have an excellent collection of parish registers covering the Sunderland area. http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/Public/Editable/Themes/Lifelong-Learning/local-hi story.asp Regards Stan Mapstone
