Further sources
More information of interest to the family historian with ancestors in Jersey is likely to be found on third party sites than on official sites under the auspices of the States of Jersey.
Those not covered under other main headings in this section of Jerripedia and worth a look are:
- Geneanet: French genealogy website with large number of Channel Island trees, particularly those with links to Normandy and Brittany families. This site has varying degrees of access, from free basic inquiries, to registration, to subscribers' detailed searches.
- Ancestry: subscription site with detailed information on all Channel Island censuses from 1841-1901
