There are many other good sources of information and the links here will take you to other websites, as well as providing information about sources in the island itself. Unfortunately the previous links to a number of useful resources are now broken, either because their web addresses have changed or the sites have closed.

Further sources

More information of interest to the family historian with ancestors in Jersey is likely to be found on third party sites than on official sites under the auspices of the States of Jersey.

Those not covered under other main headings in this section of Jerripedia and worth a look are:

Family Search: Family History resources from around the world provided by the Church of Latter-day Saints

Geneanet: French genealogy website with large number of Channel Island trees, particularly those with links to Normandy and Brittany families. This site has varying degrees of access, from free basic inquiries, to registration, to subscribers' detailed searches.
