My dad and I were discussing the possibility of going to look at the parish records somewhere, and we were trying to decide how long it would take to find what we're looking for. I live abroad, so I need to estimate whether it could be done in a few hours, or a few days.
I know we would be looking through the old books, possibly all three types (B, M and D) and numerous volumes. I don't think the entries are indexed, are they? If not, I assume we would have to search through every page. If they're indexed it would obviously take a lot less time
Also do I need to contact the parish before I go? And who do I contact? The church, or the local library?
If you know of any other useful info, I'd be glad to have it
