Graham Jaunay's excellent book A Parish Finder for England is available in a new edition now. This book is a wonderful help in finding parishes, and the dedications of each parish. I would place this title as a core reference book in the library of anyone whose family moved from one parish to another or who have lineage in several counties (most of us).

finder Also available on CD. This format provides the researcher with a huge range of new options that can never be provided by a book. The program which is a cross platform kiosk production can be used in research...

• An old Will refers to the parish's old name eg Wodell - Parish finder tells you it is now Odell.
• Handwriting means some letters are obscured - a wildcard search may reveal the parish.
• You know only the dedication of the parish church and the region - a search will reveal options.
• You cannot find records at the turn of the century for say Furze Platt BRK, Parish finder tells you this parish was created in 1928 and you need to be searching Cookham, Cookham Dean, Maidenhead St Luke, and Stubbings from which the parish was created.
Parish finder has Ordnance Reference numbers, even for places not on present day maps!
• HM parishes have a church called St Benet? Parish finder has the answer - 7 and all were extinct by 1974.
• HM London churches were destroyed in the Great Fire? Parish finder knows!
• Do you know which 3 parishes shared the same yard in Norfolk each with their own church? Parish finder does!
Parish finder also has general information about the counties, sees and parishes including how to find their records.
