Hi everyone - Today I have managed to access on-line the printed transcripts of Ravenstonedale Parish. I did this through a Google Book Search, and put the resulting URL into the Proxify search. It still didn't show as being available Full View, but I did find that on clicking on "Read this Book".....to the left of the screen,...... the WHOLE book became available! These transcripts are wonderful, particularly for those like me with interests in adjacent parishes. ALSO, the transcripts included entries from the Society of Friends (the Ravenstonedale Meeting), and also Presbyterian Registers. The actual Parish registers themselves commence 1571. I've not really explored them properly yet. Nancy. PS Sing out if you don't know what I am talking about re Google Book Search and Proxify. -- Nancy McLaughlin Burwood, Christchurch, NZ

Hi Nancy, please elaborate on the Proxify search option.
