That's interesting; most of Warks is already on Ancestry, but some of the transcriptions are dreadful, especially of the older registers. Family Search's transcriptions are a lot more accurate, so I often start a search there and then look at the image on Ancestry, but FMP will be more convenient.

They've added some records to their existing Berkshire indexes this week, so I suppose that's Berkshire done.

I feel rather underwhelmed by the "six in six" event overall, as there are no images for most of the counties included, and some of them just had a bit added to existing indexes.

I'm disappointed too. The Berkshire records are the biggest let-down for me. I have been trying to track down my 3x-great-grandmother Martha Franklin for yonks, and Berkshire FHS told me they couldn't find her when I was at a FH fair. However, I really don't think the coverage is complete.
Browsable PRs would be my greatest help, I think. Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 06-10-17 at 16:05. |

Definitely not complete. I need Newbury Baptisms in late 1700s but the transcriptions for Newbury seem to stop at the early 1600s.
We'll have to organise a GF trip to Reading, Elizabeth!

My daughter lives just outside Reading, Sue, so we are down every week. However, there is very little time for trips to the RO!!

We all seem to be experiencing similar problems. The chap from the FHS was rather miffed when I suggested that the coverage wasn't complete.
All I know is that my 3x-great-grandmother married at Lambourn in 1818 and is down on the 1851 census as having been born at Newbury, although I think that could well be the nearest town of any size. |

I have quite a lot of 'holes' in the Berkshire portion of my tree. Surely they didn't all miss seeing the inside of a church for baptism...

I prefer images to transcriptions so all these new records are sort of useless. Ancestry at least have images even if they don't release new records as quickly and the transcriptions can be bad.
