These records include over 200 parishes and were transcribed by volunteer staff at Lincolnshire Family History Society. Please note that some burial years are only partially transcribed due to illegibility or omission in the original documents.

Monumental inscriptions represent significant evidence for your family history research and can often provide additional information outside of death dates. Such records have been compiled from inscriptions found on tombstones and other memorials in churches and churchyards within Lincolnshire.
