Hello Darren,

I am fairly new to researching my family and would be absolutely lost without parish registers. They are invaluable in unsnarling people with the same name....happens a lot in my family and following the women in my tree. I also often find little notes that didn't make it to the indexes or official documents that solve a problem or at least give me another clue.....and when I find a register online that I can view the actual document and see the handwriting of my ancestor from 200 years ago, well that is thrilling. It helps make an emotional connection with that person to me and that is really what this is all about for all of us.

I applaud your efforts and encourage you to get going!

P.S. My family research is centered in Cambridgeshire and I buy my registers from parishchest.com

Hello...I know this is an old thread but I am researching the Palmbys of Cambridgeshire and have Joshua Munsey on my tree.  I have no earlier info on him, but did you know that Joshua and Elizabeth settled in Shepreth and had children there? If you don't have those details I'm happy to send along what I have.

Hello everyone......What a friendly group! I just wanted to get my area of research out there and let people know I'm a bit of a parish register junkie so have many in Cambridgeshire.....happy to look up anytime. My line is in pretty good shape, but am currently trying to find the family that links the southern Cambridgeshire Palmbys to the Ely branch. There aren't that many of us and they have to be out there, but I either haven't found them or I don't recognize them. Working in the early registers now....they can be a real brain teaser. Would love to hear from any Palmby connection.

Have a good day everyone
