Ever wonder what records are available for your ancestors from England, Scotland and Wales? Using The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers by Cecil R. Humphery-Smith, not only can you determine which years parish records are available for, you can also see at a glance (using alphabetic tables) where the records might be found.  The tables include original parish registers, Boyd’s and Pallot’s marriage indexes.

In addition to these wonderful tables are county boundary maps and topographical maps.  Seeing the topographical maps of counties allows for a better understanding of where ancestors may have moved and what parishes to look at.
