At the present time, this trend-setting project among just a few other counties, places numerous parishes and their church registers of christenings, marriages and burials currently for public access. As this is a work-in-progress, be certain to visit frequently if your parish is not yet available online. Here is their website link with search engine: http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/
