I'm putting my family tree together using ancestry.co.uk. From there I found a substantial number of matches in someone elses tree. Their tree follows the Brookes line back to 1711, I have added the informaiton that I was missing to my tree, but would like some advice on how I may confirm the details for that far back? Any advice would be much appreciated :grinsmile:
Cheers, Rich.
 
I think it can only be done by viewing the Church records, by visiting or if they are on CD rom... some are on line at the IGI site:
https://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm
and there are a few members on here who have CD's of some B'Ham churches. The you can also look on the Archive site too, there may be something there :

As I said I think that's the only way as far as I know, someone else my know more.
Click links and you will be at the sites
 
Thank you, I managed to find some details through the family search site, but I'm not sure how to get hold of a copy for further details?
 
Richard,when taking information from the family search site be aware that if it says Extracted fom records this is genuine if Submitted it has not been verified.
Never follow someone elses tree unless you can double check the entries.
