    I have found the transcriptions of Norfolk records on FreeREG very helpful. They are also accurate when I have checked them against the actual records. Many of the parishes not (yet) covered in this new Ancestry release are available at FreeREG.

    There is a very serious problem with Ancestry's burial indexing in the Norfolk, England, Church of England Baptism, Marriages, and Burials, 1535-1812 dataset. Thousands of entries, maybe tens of thousands, are only indexed by forename, not surname! On the ones that I have checked Findmypast have indexed both forename and surname.
