Suffolk parish registers to go online?

[stevemiller]

Trevor, thanks for the link but I'm looking for 1780/1790s; I have the Suffolk FHS transcripts.

I've just looked at my Phillimore Atlas & Index (3rd ed 2003) which says the Badingham registers had not been deposited.

I tried to find a list of holdings at Suffolk Archives but without success.

The Berkshire registers are being digitalised by Ancestry, but locally-held originals are also being included.

I wonder what is special about Badingham?

Suffolk Archives have just replied to me.

Badingham was NOT scanned as they do not hold the originals - only a microfiche of an earlier temporary deposit.

Arrrrgh!

I went to bed at around 11pm as Suffolk was not available then. Very pleased to see these entries in the card catalogue this morning.

I admit I was up until 2am as I heard they were already available just before midnight.

I am so pleased to be able to access the Suffolk registers. My LEGGETT and SYRETT families come from Huntingfield which doesn't seem to be available on Freereg.  Lots of successful researching yesterday for me!

Moderator comment: Since the registers are now online, closing this mammoth topic.  It is good to see that people are being successful in their searches after waiting for so long.
