Mission Statement
The Sheffield Indexers' mission is to provide, via the Internet, accurate indexed transcriptions of
genealogical records for access by all, free of charge.
About the Indexers
The original site was first conceived in 2001 by Elaine Pickard. The intention was to index
genealogical material, primarily specific to
Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, especially Parish Registers and Burial information, into a simple to
access format for people who
who are interested in Sheffield Genealogy and
have difficulty in obtaining the needed source material.
Access to the material is to be free of charge and that all transcriptions
of records and management of the site would be from voluntary sources for the
benefit of the genealogical community.
Projects
The Sheffield Indexers are pleased to offer the
original online data for
the
1841 Census Index that was made possible by a large group of volunteers in the Winter of
2004-2005. In addition we have
1841 Census Strays
(Derbyshire).
Sheffield Parish Registers are being indexed and placed online where
they can be searched under either
Baptism or
Marriage records.
Indexing is ongoing for
City
Road Cemetery
Burial
records.
School Admission
Registers are well
underway as are our new
project
Sheffield Institutions.
The
Trade Directories
continue to be updated to complete the existing databases. Please

Research
The searchable
Message Forum
is there for anyone to ask for help with their research, knowledgeable
genealogists will, I am sure, try to help with your requests.
The forum
also allows you to
search
for names, places and other
miscellaneous inquiries of interest relating to Sheffield, Yorkshire, the UK and abroad.
An
extensive list of
Genealogy Links
and
Getting Started are also a very good place to start if you are looking for information on
Sheffield, England or genealogy references in general.
