Hello Andrew -
I'm not sure whether you mean you're hoping to go to Oxfordshire Studies (OxS) in
Westgate in Oxford, or the Records Office (ORO), not so central, in Cowley. But both are
closed on a Monday.
You might like to join Oxfordshire Family History Society
www.ofhs.org.uk and support
genealogy in Oxfordshire? You'd receive three packed journals a year.
Whichever of the two places you go to later in the week (and OFHS has helpers at OxS on
Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and Fridays) you need to use both the transcribed
parish registers *and* the Search Services - you can search baptism and burial databases
on computer at both places. And you can buy the transcripts on CD also, from OFHS
directly through the website, or at OxS or ORO.
There's a help contact at
www.ofhs.org.uk if you'd like more help from the
Society.
And we have an upcoming Open Day in October in Woodstock - you might find that of
interest.
Wendy
Chairman, Oxfordshire FHS
