The American and Australian records can be good in the long run to trace missing siblings of ancestors, or even if a direct ancestor seemed to vanish from the UK after widowhood and joined children out there. I have a direct ancestor who emigrated to America in 1892 and settled in Pennsylvania so every little helps.

Perhaps they are still on holiday, a lot of companies don't reopen until after New years day  :)

Ermhhhh - it was the very last item on the 22 December e-mail for FindMyPast Fridays!!  ;)

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I am afraid this page is out of date now but in the past I phoned every County archive in England to find out if they supplied "their" parish registers on microfiche or microfilm this page was the result

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01l5s/

Even today with online companies digitising records and FHS transcribing records the microfiche and microfilm I bought for the parishes I was interested in still hold a number of years not digitised or transcribed online.
