My maternal grandmother left Bessarabia in the early 1900s, following several
aunts, sisters and brothers to London (where they settled), and she eventually
on to New York. I have been unsuccessful in locationg an online index for
searching UK immigration, naturalisation, marriage, birth or death records
by surname online? I read the Beginner's Guide to Jewish Genealogy in Great
Britain pamphlet that I bought at a Jewishgen convention & I've examined the
[familyrecords.gov.uk] site. Both suggest that you can search for surnames
online, but I'm stumped on locating an index (along the lines of JRI-Poland)
of records that are available for any of those categories of vital documents.
Any assistance will appreciated.

Can you give us more detail. Also try posting the JCR-UK Group which is a
JCR-UK is a joint project of JewishGen and the Jewish Genealogical Society
of Great Britain.

This website of the National Archive gives you lots of information on
Granting of British Nationality.

It is very detailed, but I am sure that if you have any questions you can
email the Archive with your question.

This is the Family Records Centre page on Immigration:

This tells you how to obtain Birth, Marriage and Death certificates >from the
Family Records Centre.

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ of the General Register Office can be
used to place orders for certificates dating >from 1900 up to 18 months ago
where the exact details are known.

The email address regarding the Registrations of Births, Marriages and
Deaths in England are respectively:

registering.births@...
registering.deaths@...

This is the detail of the Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths at the
Family Records Centre. I think that you have to go there in person.

This private individual

the FRC require you to go to the FRC and search the records in person.
