About The Parish Register Transcription Society

The Parish Register Transcription Society was formed in April 1999, with the aim of publishing transcripts of Parish Registers and other manuscripts / records of use to researchers in family history.

The Society has no particular ties to any county and will consider publishing any suitable material which is of genealogical interest.

The Society does not have a subscribed membership as such but consists of a very small group of volunteer transcribers who donate their work for publication. As a non-profit making organisation, all proceeds from the sale of published material are used to fund further transcription and publication projects.

The first publications were launched in November 1999. To become a volunteer transcriber and help with this valuable work, please contact the PRTS Secretary at the Society address which can be found at the Contact PRTsoc page.

Some publications consist of a surname indexed transcript, whilst others will be filmed as is, dependant on quality, and are supplied in Adobe® PDF format, on cd.
