I'm specifically wanting to see records in Gateshead/Sunderland area. Do I need to know the specific parishes and if so how would I find them? Is there someone specific I need to contact or would the main library in those areas have them? I have got some info from the LDS site but I know of other families in the area that are connected but on the mormon site. Thanks for any help Sam

If you go onto the GENUKI site and put in Gateshead in search box it will tell you where parish records are. This is the url for the gateshead page. http://www.joinermarriageindex(.)com/pjoiner/genuki/DUR/Gateshead/#ChurchRecords remove brackets. It says the parish records for 1559-1979 are at Durham County Record office. Jennifer
