A list of the different records available on the website
Coventry Family History Society has made lots of different records for family historians available online on this website or available to buy. This is a comprehensive list of all those records.
Searching the list
To make the list easier to search, we have categorised each recordset using a number of filters, such as location, subject. These include whether they are free to all or only available to members. You can use the filters on this page to search for resources that are applicable for you.
- The filters are additive, so that if you search for “Census” and “Canals” you will only see records that are categorised as both.
