Jerripedia's unique comprehensive online index to registers of baptisms, marriages and burials in the island's 12 parish churches from the 16th century to 1842 was launched in October 2012, and in 2017 a further 100,000 later records were added to our database to bring the total to around half a million.
Work has continued ever since to find and correct errors in these records and in 2020 we started adding records for Roman Catholic and Methodist churches.
This section of the site is the heart of Jerripedia for those interested in researching their family history. The list of Main subjects below will take you to the most important sections. The family pages provide information on over 1,200 Jersey families, including the origins of the family names, the earliest occurrences in Jersey, links to family trees and also direct links to our records database.
There is also a separate link to an alphabetical index of over 3,300 family trees, and another to a selection of the more important trees for those seeking to trace their ancestry back through prominent Jersey families with records pre-dating the Parish Church registers.
User contributions to our family pages and family trees are always welcome. Please click on User contributions to learn how this works. If you feel that you can help us in any other way, please click on Contact.
