Journal Indexes

Previous Journals of the Society are available on microfiche – but do they contain any articles of interest to you?  To help you, we are putting the indexes to previous volumes on the web site.  As a first step, there is now available a searchable alphabetical index to those surnames referred to in articles in volumes 1 to 15.  Surname Index

Each journal volume covers a period of two years, and is available on a separate fiche, or the whole set may be purchased at a reduced rate. The full set of journal indexes is also available on microfiche.

This online surname index will exclude any substantial published name lists, such as census transcriptions for institutions or Members' Interest profiles. 

Further details of the microfiche for sale are listed in our Publications List. They may be purchased from the Society, or ordered online from our two outlets: Parish Chest and GenFair.
