Dear all, You need to be aware that the parishes given in these maps may well be incorrect. They seem to follow the information given in the NIPR (National Index of Parish Registers) which assumes that if a register exists then it is for a parish. As a result of this many chapelries are given as parishes, for instance Muker, Hawes, Stalling Busk etc. Best wishes, Colin Hinson In the village of Blunham in Bedfordshire U.K. Webmaster for the Genuki Yorkshire pages: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ Old and Rare Yorkshire Books on searchable CDroms: http://www.YorkshireCDbooks.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> At 08:01 15/06/2012, you wrote: >The Toronto Family History Soc. publish a weekly bulletin of most >interesting and helpful hints and small articles. > >This one I though might be of interest to you all.
