Some of the most useful sources are parish registers, which were kept from 1538. The parish was a unit of local government, and these records are vital for discovering your ancestors’ baptisms, marriages and burials. Kresen Kernow is home to registers from all of the 257 parishes in Cornwall, although current registers will still be in use at the churches. We also look after over 500 Methodist, Quaker, Congregational and Baptist registers. You can view these registers on microfiche in our reading room, where transcripts are also available.
