In answer to your question, It's a records index for england,ireland, scotland and wales.It contains approx 10.4 million birth and christening records plus 1.9 million marriage records. There are also church and civil records, the partial records date from approx 1530 to 1906, there two versions numbers 1 and 2 and are listed by counties. I hope this is of some help to answering your question Regards Joyce.

	With regard to Joyce's reply - version 2 includes all of version 1, so you don't need to ask for lookups on both! Best Wishes Sarah
