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, such as the Search Engine and
the GENUKI Gazetteer.

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.
