You've been searching for ancestors in a parish, collecting lots of records, pushing the years further and further, when the trail suddenly dries up.

Your ancestors have moved somewhere, or moved from somewhere, but where?

Parish Finder iOS helps genealogists by creating lists of nearby places to search. It's a research planning tool.

You know your ancestors were somewhere. It's likely they moved to (or from) somewhere reasonably close by. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to get a list of the key parishes and towns nearby, so you can have a productive and effective trip to the Record Office?

That's where Parish Finder can help!

Parish Finder helps you to put together your next research plan by providing radial searches around a given parish. You select a parish, select a distance, and Parish Finder creates a list of key places to search.

But what if you have a good guess where your ancestor moved to or from, but you're not sure how likely it is? Parish Finder can help by showing you the distance between two parishes, which is really helpful for sense-checking your findings.
