Family History Societies, Lancashire, Manchester, registers, useful

There is a great index and search tool from the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society here, very useful if you are looking for Roman Catholic ancestors in Manchester. The Catholic Register Index (CRI) contains data derived from the registers of a number of Roman Catholic churches in Manchester. The source of this information is the original registers for these churches which have been transcribed by members of the Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society and of the North West Branch of the Catholic Family History Society. Specific information about each source is available here.

Family History Societies, FFHS, useful

If you are a newcomer to family history I can recommend the Really Useful Leaflet that the FFHS (Federation of Family History Societies) produce. It has a list of useful websites and gives a good view of just how much information is available. It is true to say that in the early stages of research, quite a bit of progress can be made by going it alone, however, there will be times when your research grinds to a halt, and that is where membership of a society can be of great benefit. The FFHS has over 180 member societies throughout the world and the names and web addresses are included in this leaflet. They will be happy to share their knowledge and come up with ideas for you to pursue. They may also have produced transcriptions of the more unusual records that as yet are unavailable on-line.
