Title: family history before 1700
Post by: Graham Robert Jackson on Sunday 18 February 18 03:19 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I’m new to genealogy but I have been reasonable successful tracing my family through online records getting right back to John Jackson, born 9th July 1763 but prior to this date as far as I can find the records are not on the internet. Is my only way forward to visit Whitby or are there other options available to continue the research?

You may find joining a family history society worthwhile as often they have published booklets of baptisms/ marriages etc or produced microfiches. Possibly if you contact the Record Office for the county they will advise you of sources available for research. Also websites such as IGI Family Search may have these records as an index.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)  There's already been a reply on your other topic (best to stick to one thread to avoid duplication and confusion).
