This page will help you to find your way around the GENUKI hierarchy. It focuses on the key areas you will need to know about for your research, and provides an explanation of their relation to each other, and to the whole. There is a Site Map diagram, which represents the levels of the GENUKI structure: the UK & Ireland, Regions within the UK (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands), followed by the (pre-1834) Counties (shires), which lead to a number of Parish pages. To supplement the diagram, there's a description of some of the additional key areas. For example the Search Engine, the GENUKI Gazetteer, and finally, a selection of Quick Links, providing fast access to the most relevant topics. NB: the Site Map diagram requires style-sheet technology, but if you have styles disabled in your browser, or are using a screen-reader, the whole has been designed to be compatible with text-only browsing.

The information contained on any given parish/town page is dependent on the amount of
time which the maintainer of the County has available to add the information and of course
the amount of information available to him or her. In some cases, the parish/town page may
not exist, and in others there will be extensive information such as transcriptions of parish
records, gazetteers, directories, photographs etc. under the various topic headings.

Navigation

In order to navigate down the hierarchy, a list of the items in the next level down is provided on the relevant pages. To navigate up the hierarchy, links are provided at the top of each page which will enable you to go up a level or in some cases to skip one or more levels.

All names in blue in the diagram above are active hyper-links.

It should be noted that at each level in the hierarchy, information is arranged under the same alphabetically-ordered set of topic headings, e.g. Biography, Census, Church Records, Description & Travel, History, Maps, Probate Records, etc. For further guidance see "How this Information Service is Organised", and for a full list of possible topic headings see How the information on this server is presented to the user.
