Projects
The Sheffield Indexers are pleased to offer the
original online data for
the
1841 Census Index that was made possible by a large group of volunteers in the Winter of
2004-2005. In addition we have
1841 Census Strays
(Derbyshire).
Sheffield Parish Registers are being indexed and placed online where
they can be searched under either
Baptism or
Marriage records.
Indexing is ongoing for
City
Road Cemetery
Burial
records.
School Admission
Registers have been completed.
Sheffield Institutions
is still in progress and the
Trade Directories
continue to be updated to complete the existing databases.
BMD Certificates is our latest project
and will be ongoing. Please

Research
The searchable
Message Forum
is there for anyone to ask for help with their research, knowledgeable
genealogists will, I am sure, try to help with your requests.
The forum
also allows you to
search
for names, places and other
miscellaneous inquiries of interest relating to Sheffield, Yorkshire, the UK and abroad.
An
extensive list of
Genealogy Links
and
Getting Started are also a very good place to start if you are looking for information on
Sheffield, England or genealogy references in general.

I
Indexers Welcome
Sheffield Indexers are always welcoming new
transcribers who are willing to volunteer their time to transcribe material
to be uploaded onto the site where it can be appreciated by so many
researchers.
If you are interested in joining our team for
the current projects of
Indexing Burial Records
or
Indexing Parish Records,
please contact
Elaine Pickard
for details.
If you are also interested in transcribing other records please mention them in your email.
B
BMD
Certificates
If you have Birth, Marriage or
Death Certificates and would like to share some or all of the information in
them with fellow researchers, why not index them where they can be seen by
your potential Rellies. Our ongoing
BMD Certificates Index
will provide enough information
to help a fellow family researcher with either sufficient information to send
for the certificate themselves, or, if you leave an email address they could
contact you direct for possible connections.
Please send an email to
Ann Halford
for instructions and she will be pleased to help you get started with Birth,
Marriage or Death Certificate templates and some simple instructions on how to
fill in the template, which is in Excel. If you need a template in
OpenOffice please let Ann know. If you don’t have either but would like
to contribute, contact Ann to find out about alternative methods of submitting
your info.
In the meantime, enjoy your research, with thanks from the Sheffield Indexers.
If you have any
other
suggestions for the site please contact me and we will certainly
consider them.
For and on behalf of the
Sheffield Indexers,
Elaine Pickard
