We’ve all been waiting for digitised images of Suffolk’s massive collection of parish registers (and hopefully Bishop’s Transcripts too) for a very long time.
The wait is nearly over – they will be released on Ancestry, with an index, on Friday 8th August.
- Lots of information here from Suffolk Archives about the project.
It is very exciting, but I’ve written before about my issues with how error-strewn indexing can be on Ancestry. Since I wrote that, I found an entire page of baptisms on there where the index said all the children were bastards. The only reason I can think for this mistake is because the indexer misread “baptised” as “bastard”. *sigh*
Anyway, here’s a nice photo of a Suffolk church….
