Bolster the branches of your family tree with this week's Findmypast Friday releases. New parish records from Norfolk, England are now online and ready to search.

This week, we've added thousands of new baptism, marriage and burial records to our UK parish collection, already the most extensive online. If you've got forebears from Norfolk, it's a record release you won't want to miss.

Thousands of new records have been added, covering a range of Norfolk parishes. All of these latest releases date from 1922.

The parishes covered in this tranche include:

  • South Lynn, All Saints
  • Lowestoft
  • Wells Next the Sea
  • Norwich
  • Brundall

As well as essential parish records, you'll find a host of unique resources for tracing Norfolk ancestors on Findmypast. Did they fall on hard times in a Norfolk workhouse? Or cast their vote in local and national elections?

Taking us back to more recent times, we've added burial records from 1997. Parishes covered include Edgefield, Middleton, Wilby and others.

Burial records mark the end of your ancestor's life story and can reveal important details for your family tree, like burial date and age. Always remember to check the original image as well as the transcript. It can feature extra details such as circumstances surrounding the death.
