I have just been looking for registers, and noticed that you can buy a CD for Chesterfield/Staffs.

Please excuse my ignorance, but do they go in my computer, and is it really that easy to access records??

If that is the case, I would only need two for most of hubby and my families.

Thanks for any info, please remember that I am not the brightest tool in the box regards computers.

Yes, you should be able to read the cd's on your computer. I have a few for my area. Bear in mind, though, that they will probably be transcripts but a wonderful help just the same.

What do you call expensive? I have paid different prices for different places! A Bucks parish cost me £15; a Northants one cost £40. More on the Northants one, though, and has solved a few problems.

I lost my job through redundancy last Christmas. Now everything's expensive!

The one that I saw for Chesterfield was £29.95, expensive when on a fixed income, but would work out cheaper than traveling to view them, and a lot less tiring.

Thanks again for troubling to reply, Nina

Hi Derek,I KNOW Chesterfield is not Staffs, but on the web site that I looked on, they had both.

Thanks for your lovely, appreciated offer, if I get stuck I will take you up on it..

Do you have any Ecclesall Bierlow records?? It appears on different records as Yorks or Derbys, and most of my dad's 19th cent rels come from there, and I have gone as far as I can via census ect.
