ParishRegister.com - Parish Records Online: "THE DOCKLANDS ANCESTORS PARISH REGISTER TRANSCRIPTION PROJECT

In 2001 we began the mammoth task of transcribing London's parish registers. This was because of the poor coverage given to the East End by the IGI and our frustration at the lack of records available online. Having spent almost 6 months travelling to the London Metropolitan Archives researching our family history, we thought there had to be a better way of accessing parish register archives.

Our efforts thus far have seen much of Tower Hamlets registers transcribed and a few from Southwark too. These records are available for you to search in two different formats: Online database search and CD-ROMs."
