Select from the options below to see the records that have been transcribed or abstracted to date. We’ll be adding new transcripts as available so please check the site occasionally. If you’re looking for a particular name or property, you can use the Search box in the top right-hand corner of this page to see where it is referenced on this website. There are many alternative spellings though, so you might want to use shortened search terms like ‘Boas’ or ‘Bos’ to find a place such as ‘Boasley’. The Search box lists the pages where your search term appears and highlights those results when you go to each page. When viewing tables of records, if you only want to view the records that contain your search term, enter your search term in the filter box just above the table.
The year ranges for some 20th century records have been limited for display on the website. In some cases, more recent records are publicly available and are marked (recent) below. If you need information from these recent records, please contact us.
Please be aware that these transcripts undoubtedly contain errors or omissions. If you find any, could you please let us know so that we can update the site. We would also welcome hearing if you discover anything new! Refer to the Sources page to see where you can view the source records for these transcripts.
