Hi UJ

What a shame you didn't ask earlier in the year I went to Jersey in June & could have had a look for you!

You can order certificates from St Helier but they have just put their costs up to £20 a certificate

Their bmds are kept in beautifully bound books in the Registrar's Office, he is a very nice young man of about 70 lol! They are written in Jersiaise which is a form of Norman French I think.

I would suggest you ask the Channel Islands Family History Society which will charge £10 an hour for a search :

http://www.jerseyfamilyhistory.org/research or try

http://www.societe-jersiaise.org/lib...resources.html

Or you could wait until I go again in a couple of years time lol
