Our basic enquiries service is free for information about what
records we hold and what services we supply. All enquiries will be
answered in order of receipt, whether they are email, fax,
telephone or letter enquiries. We receive more than 2,500 written
and telephone enquiries every month, which accounts for the strict
queuing of our enquiries. We aim to answer 90% of enquiries within
10 working days, and 100% within 20 working days.
There is a great deal of information about LMA available on this
website. If you require information about
opening hours , a general overview of the kinds of records we
hold, or the services we offer, it is all available here - the
buttons on the left are designed to help you navigate around
easily.
Please note, we cannot search through documents as part of this
free service. If you are unable to visit LMA, the London
Generations database is available online or you can use the
family history research service.
What records are held at LMA?
The major genealogical sources we hold, including Anglican
parish registers, are listed in the
London Generations
database. The LMA catalogue is now available
online. In addition to this, the majority of LMA's
collections are listed on
the Access to Archives website.
Family history sources which are not held at LMA
LMA does not hold any census data, (either on microfiche or
online) or civil registration records of births, marriages and
deaths.
For information on the census, please visit the
National Archives and for civil registration,
visit the
Directgov website. This is your first step
when tracing your UK family tree.
