If you're looking for family in England, and you are researching prior to
1837, parish records are one of the 'core' records to be consulting, but
accessibility hasn't always been the easiest. Finally we are now seeing some of
these parish records scanned and made accessible on CD.
The parish registers for Swanbourne in Buckinghamshire are covered by this
CD. The baptisms, marriages and burials between 1565 and 1836 are all listed.
Note: When you get back beyond 1752 in England, remember that dates on
records and documents will be in the Julian calendar, not the current Gregorian.
Officially the Gregorian calendar was introduced in October 1582, but the
changeover was slow, and England did not adopt this calendar until September
1752.
The CD contains digitally enhanced images of the whole of the original text,
which is fully searchable, bookmarked, and is printable.
