Hello List: Could someone tell me about what records are available for the county of Hertford. If I wrote to, and where would I write, a records center and asked for a birth record from 1604 for a Thomas Cason, would the person be looking up a record in a Parish Register that is in the IGI already? Are the IGI's complete for Hertfordshire Parish Register's. In my previous question I explained that this lookup is for an Uncle. As a member of other lists, I am well aware of the difficulties surrounding this date but I really want to be able to give my Uncle a definitive record. I don't mind paying for any records from an archive for him but think that I should be aware of what is available before I ask for a record's search. Thank you very much for your indulgence, Cherie Lynn, Maryland
