I think you know what I meant by original...."original" as in filmed, photographed etc., and I totally agree the SEAX PR's are amazingly clear. Another reason to go through the films of the original PR's (as opposed to looking at one item) and not trust just indexes is that one of my ancestors was left out of an LDS PR extraction, but she is there clear as day in the original parish records, again original as in filmed. I would say the same about census reports...so many times I have found relatives living just next door or even several doors down which would not have been turned up with a transcribed copy of just one household. Likewise original BMD certificates as opposed to just using Freebmd, sometimes there is more to the story, as in marriages, sometimes the woman is a widow therefore not her real surname. Just my experience (regretably learnt the hard way)...
