No burials. British Isles Vital Records Index, 2nd Edition The British Isles Vital Records Index (2nd Edition) on compact disc contains information from birth, christening, and marriage records from selected parishes and other sources in the British Isles. The records are from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. This set of compact discs includes and updates the 1998 version of the British Isles Vital Records Index. The British Isles Vital Records Index (2nd Edition) includes: Civil and church records dated from 1530 to 1906. Approximately 12.3 million total records on 16 compact discs, plus the Family History Resource File Viewer disc, which is used to view the information. Birth and christening records that include the individual's name, parents' names, and date and place where the event was registered. Marriage records that include the individual's name, name of spouse, date and place of marriage, and parents' names when available. Reference information that helps you locate original records on microfilm. Other features of the program include collection search, parent search, bookmarking, print options, and GEDCOM export. The collection search lets you search for records from the same locality or multiple localities. Please note that this set of compact discs does not contain all available records from this time period or from these localities. The time span, content, and availability of records vary greatly from parish to parish within each county. Records have been transcribed more completely from some counties than from others. Some names found on these compact discs may also be found on the International Genealogical Index (IGI), produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A complete count of records for each county is available.
