GENUKI Gloucestershire: Making connections (General)

Dear Janey

Thanks of this very helpful comment. I have just started on the process on making the connection from GENUKI by expanding the Forest of Dean page there to give an overall indication of the availability of parishes on FOD and I will be following up with the individual parishes.

I will look out for more information on the availability of registers. This may be part of the work with the FHS. I have noticed that both Find My Past and Ancestry are often a little coy about saying exactly what the coverage of their register entries are.

Dear Paul,

As a frequent and extremely grateful user of this site's resources, I suggest that in promoting it you should be explicit about it's geographical boundaries. I've seen comments on other family history sites suggesting that coverage of Gloucestershire is poor for parish records, so it only seems fair to be clear about how far FOD FHT extends, and where the boundaries end.

Separately, I think I've read on the 'Who Do You Think You Are?' website that more Gloucestershire parish records may be coming online via one of the big providers, so you may want to investigate exactly what that will (or will not) cover.

Good luck in your endeavours, Janey
