Genlinks - http://www.jaydax.co.uk/genlinks/index.html

Not a collection of links, as the name suggests, but lots of useful information, including a history of Parish Records

Two sites posted on a rootsweb list, look a bit handy.

You will find information about the county, links to village and town web sites, listings of Parishes and Hundreds, Suffolk Registration Districts, Various Resources Look Ups and Census Look Ups and Parish Records Look Ups (the Suffolk Look-Up Exchange).

On the opening page of the Parish Records Look Ups List you will find helpful information which I urge you to read, you will also find a link to Roy Stockdill's 'Guide for Beginners' - this is especially useful if you are new to research in the UK. You will also find information on Getting Started at the BBC Family History web site www.bbc.co.uk

If you are unsure about the information that can be obtained from a Parish Register entry, do read John McLinden's interesting article 'The Parish Register' which explains exactly what can be gained from this source.

All of these services are provided by kind volunteers who, like you, are family historians - there are no professional researchers named anywhere on this web site. We are more than happy to help with ideas and suggestions and to show you where and how to obtain information, but we cannot do the research for you.

News relating to this web site will be announced on the Suffolk Rootsweb Mailing List and on the Suffolk pages of www.rootschat.com

For the last few years I had a great deal of amazing help and advice from a dear friend whose family history was deeply rooted in the area of south Suffolk where I live, his name was Ray Erle Long 1946-2008. His enthusiasm and knowledge for his Suffolk origins was immense. His legacy to family historians is his own website The Cosford-Database and the continuation of this web site. Thank you Ray.

My grateful thanks go to Terry Aspinall whose dedication has restored the web site for all Suffolk researchers

Thanks for reminding me of the Suffolk one Joy, I had added my Suffolk name to it, but the email and name are well out of date!

Yes, we've got a separate thread about it, but thanks. Certain people on here have been making a lot of use of it over the last few days!
