Hello all, The Yorkshire Parish Register Society began transcribing registers in 1899, since when it has published 177 volumes of printed parish registers. Although the society's name has now changed to Yorkshire Parish Register Section, or YPRS, and now comes under the banner of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, its aims are still the same as they were 111 years ago. Some publications are now available on CD, as well as in books. Because they rely on volunteers to transcribe the parish registers, and this has to be done at the archive repositories, it is a slow process. All their work has to be thoroughly checked before publication, which also takes a great deal of time. If you visit archives in Yorkshire regularly, and could possibly spare a little time to help with either transcribing or checking, this would be much appreciated. Also, if you have spare time, and access to a computer, some inputting of transcripts is needed. This year, the section has published registers for Kirkburn, 1686-1837 and Tickhill (Volume 2) 1674 - 1771. All the YPRS publications are listed on www.yorkshireparishregisters.com. Most of the CD publications will be available at the Hull Family History Fair on 16th October, at Batley on 13th November and at the Milton Keynes Family History Show, Bletchley Park, on the 14th November. If you are attending any of these events and would like one of the books, please email info@yorkshireparishregisters.com The Section is working hard to ensure that all their work is accurate, for the benefit of family historians now and in the future.
