Pleased to see more (the last batch?) has been added but disappointed lots of the parishes I'm interested in aren't covered.

Jay would those parishes be on ancestry?

FMP don't have Bradford but ancestry does.

It would be nice if they were all in one place though.

I have read a few times that this was the second phase of uploaded records and it completed the collection. However, I haven't seen FMP say this. It did say on their blog that it was second phase. But they didn't say final phase or that this completed.

Someone on the Sheffield Indexers posted that FMP had imaged the Walkley parish records but they do not yet appear online.

I thought phase 2 was in April 2015.

But the "Findmypast Fridays" blog post for the latest baptism records says that "This is the second phase of what will become a comprehensive collection of parish records covering the whole county." which seems to imply there is more to come, whereas the "Findmypast Fridays" blog posts about marriages and burials say "These latest additions from [sic] the final phase of a landmark project to bring together and publish the records of six separate Yorkshire archives." So who knows?!

No they're not covered by Ancestry Kit, I'm interested in parishes in North & East Yorkshire.

Its all very confusing isn't it Kate. I have read various stuff now in which some suggest that they are now complete, and other's that say its not. The fact that someone on the Sheffield Indexers forum has said that they have imaged the Walkley registers (he knew because he had them at the time and had to give them back because FMP wanted to image them), but Walkley doesn't yet appear on FMP. Makes me think there may be more to come in a final phase?

I'm another one confused Claire. Is it the final batch or is there more to come?!

Some of the parishes I'm interested in have only partial coverage, but I know that further/earlier years registers are deposited at one of the participating archives.

I'm guessing the project only covered CoE churches too?

Yes the project was only CofE churches.

I was talking to one of the archivists at Sheffield Archives last year and they didn't seem overly impressed by what coverage each parish was going to get, if any. I think each parish church has had to give permission for the records to go online so I am also going to assume that they also indicated the start/cut off dates for each parish.

There is quite a bit of Sheffield still not online (obviously the ones I need!) but other parishes have really poor coverage that you just think, what was the point?

Claire, I understand your frustration. I am just so grateful that the Whitby records are now accessible.

It is frustrating but at the same time, the Sheffield Cathedral records have been added and they've been a wealth of information for me so I can't complain too much. I've not knocked down any brick walls yet but I've certainly filled in lots of gaps
