North Riding of Yorkshire Look-up Exchange

The following is a list of reference works on the former North Riding of Yorkshire which volunteers are willing to search for specific entries. It is arranged alphabetically by parish, but with resources relating to Wapentakes and the whole of the Riding listed first.

To ask for a look-up, please click on the name by the reference. Requests should be specific: give as much detail as you can. Abuses of the kindness of these volunteers will probably cause them to withdraw their names so please don't ask for all references to a common name, or for time-consuming research. Volunteers may or may not be willing to obtain copies of the relevant pages. If they are, expect to reimburse expenses.

Many Family History Societies produce publications related to their county. You may want to consider purchasing your own copy of relevent resources to aid your research. You may also wish to consider supporting research in this area by joining the society. Details can be found at their respective web-sites or see Genuki's Family History Society listings
