HI David, Some of the North Yorks BTs are online, unindexed, at a new part of the familysearch site http://search.labs.familysearch.org You need to register first but with the minimum of details. You may then find that the site tells you that after registering you will be sent an e.mail as confirmation but I have not yet received such an e.mail after 2 weeks of using the site. So just shut down the site after registering, then re-open the site and it should allow you to begin using the site without problem. Once you log in you will go forward to the next page where at the bottom right of the page is a link to Vital Records which inludes - England, Diocese of Durham Bishop's Transcripts ca. 1700-1900. That link takes you forward to a list of counties covered by that heading and amongst them is York which includes parts of North Yorkshire at least, I doubt it includes other of the Ridings of York because these BTs are those that came under the Bishop of Durham's jurisdiction. Using the above site I have found that the LDS, in their usual wisdom when it comes to English Counties, have put some of Newcastle Upon Tyne's records under the Count of Durham, but other Newcaslte Upon Tyne records are under Northumberland. So always check all counties for what they each contain because your place of interest could be listed under the wrong county. I found under County Durham that Darlington St. Cuthbert's records are listed under Darlington but then found them again under Parlington, just one of the errors I have encountered so be on your toes with the listings. This is a trial set up on the familysearch site and they do ask for feedback on anything you find wrong or ideas on improving the site so expect things to be not quite right, but at least it is a start and I say thank goodness for the LDS. Regards Jenny DeAngelis. Spain. <<Anyone with experience of the parish records for both the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire? Are these available on-line, or are there CD's that can be purchased? What periods would any CD's cover? And what about Bishops' Transcripts of Wills, or wills that are held at Leeds (i.e. not at the National Archives in London). Is there any way these can be researched or accessed from a distance?>>
