An
On-line Parish Clerk (OPC) is the repository of all sorts of genealogical data
relating to an adopted Parish. This can come from my own transcripts of a wide
range of documents as well as those donated by other researchers that relate to
the Parishes of Meavy, Roborough by Torrington, Sheepstor & Walkhampton.
These include, but are not limited to: Parish Registers, Censuses, Land Tax
Assessments, Tithe Apportionments, Directories, etc. etc.
Through
the auspices of GENUKI
Devon On-Line Parish Clerk Project and its webmaster, Brian Randell, over
185 of 500+ Parishes are now covered, benefiting researchers everywhere.
As with any secondary or tertiary genealogical information, all information herein needs to be verified at source by comparison with the original documents.
The
term OPC as used here, refers to a repositor of genealogically related
materials such as (but not limited to) Church register transcripts, land tax
assessments and census information, and the OPC should in no way be confused
with the Parish Council appointed Parish Clerks. All OPCs are unpaid volunteers
who are willing to assist others in their genealogical research.
