Lancashire Records Launch On-line
Lancashire Records Launch On-line
Taken from LFHHS yahoo forum
Just note to give a 'heads up' on Lancashire records about to be launched online.
26th July - over 2 million baptism, marriage & burial records 1538-1986 on Ancestry from the Lancashire Archive collection. I believe it will include digitised images of the parish records.
28th July - Preston Guild Burgess Rolls - database of the 27 surviving Guild Rolls. A project was led I think by our own David Eaves. There is an event to launch this at the Lancashire Archive, Bow Lane, Preston on this date, though places should be reserved.

Re: Lancashire Records Launch On-line
Thanks for that Gloria. I've been a member of LFHHS for a couple of years, but never joined the forum. Tried once but gave up, I think the process was not too easy - or maybe they wanted too much commitment to Yahoo? Might try again.

Do it Tripps, do it. I think I remember struggling at the beginning to register, but managed it and do use it. It seems to have got more popular in the last 6/12 months. Lots of helpful people.

Re: Lancashire Records Launch On-line
Is it meant the Lancashire records will only be viewable using Ancestry ( a pay for use site ? ) or can one view via the Lancashire Record Office site ?
Most of the records I find on line are mis-spellings of the name I am researching and they (Ancestry) don't easily give credit for items viewed in detail which are wrong on their indexing.

Re: Lancashire Records Launch On-line
I think the records they are putting on ancestry are the ones which can be searched for free if you go to Preston.

"Do it Tripps, do it. "
Couldn't resist that I am part way through the process, though I suspect it would be easier to Join the Freemasons than this group!
You speak elsewhere about unwelcoming sites - This lot would take some beating......

Re: Lancashire Records Launch On-line
I haven't had much to do with it for a while, but in the past I found everyone very helpful and in turn I have tried to help others. Put a query on and see how you get on.
LFHHS Chorley group run a very good "Celebration of Family History" each year, well worth a visit. I will bump details of it if I can find it.

Re: Lancashire Records Launch On-line
Thanks Jill. I let my ancestry sub lapse a few days ago and I am waiting for an offer to renew it again. I managed my last one for half price---fingers crossed.
