Using Baptism Records for Family Historians

By Pauline M. Litton. 16 pages. ISBN 1-86006-033-1.

Baptism records are important, as they often provide the only written record of an ancestor's early life. However, it has never been compulsory by law in the British Isles, although most Christian and Jewish people were baptised at some stage in their lives. This guide outlines the various types of baptism record which the family historian is likely to encounter during their research, in which type of record repository they can be found, and some of the problems and pitfalls which may occur when consulting them.
