The Newcastle-Upon-Tyne (England) Registrars have a new Web site with the capability to search birth and marriages online. Death registration indexes are expected to be added soon.

The new site is an ongoing project, made possible by the assistance of the Northumberland & Durham Family History Society. Volunteers from around the world have been computerizing the indexes, working from photocopies of the original indexes. To make sure the data is as accurate as possible, any entry in the index that a volunteer isn't sure of is queried and checked by the registrar before being placed on the website.

Marriages and birth indexes are now available from 1837 to 1870. Later records are being added as the volunteers complete their tasks.
