Hello all
A reminder to everyone that there are a growing number of searchable
records on the following website hosted by Andrew Rivett at:
http://www.genealogy.doun.org/transcriptions/index.php3

The site now contains 56,350 entries.

The following parishes have had new entries added since the last
update:

Ashmanhaugh
Aylsham
Caston
Colney
Hickling
Morningthorpe
North Tuddenham
Pentney
Stiffkey
Warham All Saints
Welbourne
Wramplingham

War memorials:
Aldborough
Dilham
East + West Wretham
Great Bircham
Mundford
Thorpe next Norwich

There are some census transcripts on the site, but, also try Paddy
Apling's 1891 Census Surname Index which now covers 321 places
in Norfolk:

For those who have been kind enough to submit indexes and transcripts
for the site, many thanks. I'm sorry for the delay in getting
information online recently, but Andrew has been snowed under with
work and so has only been able to snatch the odd moment here and there
to update the site. He is going to be busy for quite a while yet and
so delays may still occur in getting new information online. We do
appreciate the time you give and your efforts will be included, but
please bear with us, information will be processed as soon as
possible.

The site is only meant to be a research aid, particularly intended for
those who want to make best use of their time when going to record
centres; and those of you who live hundreds or thousands of miles from
Norfolk for whom access to information is difficult.

Where possible, you'll still need to check the original/fiche/film to
obtain full details of the parish register entries. But we hope that
the site may give your research a new direction or throw up odd
entries which are of interest.

The site has been visited 54,258 times since it went live on 8 July.
