Like all county archives, the Berkshire Record Office (BRO) holds a wealth of information for the family historian that will help you get past the basic details you can find online.

Visitors to the BRO can access Ancestry and Find My Past for free.  These sites give you good access to post-1837 information.  We also have copies of some of the sources that they use: births, marriages and deaths indexes and census returns.

What makes the BRO special is our collection of documents that you will not find online, and which can also be accessed onsite for free.  Many of these local records will take you further back in time and help you explore your ancestors' stories.  Please use the links on the left to find out more.
