There have been several questions asked about which former Traditional Anglican Communion Parishes, Missions and groups have joined the Catholic Church through the provisions of the Apostolic Constitution Apostolicorum Coetibus so I have endeavoured to list them in as up to date a fashion as I am able.
I am aware that some named (specifically in Canada) are not yet formal parishes or missions of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter, but they are due to be. Please feel free to point out any mistakes and send any updates and omissions.
USA - formerly the Anglican Church in America (ACA-TAC)
Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter
Church of the Incarnation, Orlando, Florida (formerly the Cathedral of the Incarnation for the Diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Church in America (ACA-TAC) and then the Pro-Diocese of the Holy Family for those en-route for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter).
Mission of Holy Cross, Ocala, Florida (received with the Church of the Incarnation)
Parish of Christ the King, Towson, Maryland.
Mission Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Mount Airy, Maryland, subsequently added as a mission attached to Christ the King, Towson.
St Augustine of Canterbury, Oceanside, California (formerly the Church of the Resurrection Mission Parish in Oceanside).
Blessed John Henry Newman Mission Parish, Orange County, California (made up of former members of the ACA-TAC, TEC and others. Their Priest-in-Charge, Father Bartus, was formerly a priest of the ACA-TAC)
St Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Use Society, Indiana, Indianapolis.
St Michael the Archangel Church, Philidelphia, Pennsylvania.
Former Pro-Diocese of the Holy Family..parishes/missions:
Notre Dame du Mt. Carmel..Margate, Florida
Rye de Gloria Mission..Pinecrest, Florida
Our Lady of the Angels..New Smyrna Beach, Florida
St. Luke's Mission...The Villages, Florida
Our Lady of Good Counsel...Jacksonville, North Carolina
St. Edmund of Canterbury...Fredricksburg, Virginia
Holy Trinity, Payson, Arizona.
Canada - Formerly of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada (ACCC-TAC)
Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter
Sodality of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Ottowa, Ontario.
Holy Nativity Sodality, Barrhaven, Ontario (a Mission of the Sodality of the Annunciation of the BVM )
St Barnabas Sodality, Spencerville, Ontario (a Mission of the Sodality of the Annunciation of the BVM)
Sodality of the Good Shepherd, Oshawa, Ontario.
Fellowship of Blessed John Henry Newman, Victoria, British Columbia.
Sodality of St Edmund, King and Martyr, Cambridge, Ontario.
The Apostolate of the Holy Cross, Sydney, Nova Scotia
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory's Christ the King Parish, Ontario
St Michael's, Fredericton, New Brunswick.
I am aware other communities in Canada may have joined but can't get any details at the moment.
Australia - formerly Anglican Catholic Church in Australia (ACCA-TAC)
Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross
St Ninian and St Chad, Maylands, West Australia
Melbourne Ordinariate Group, Victoria (some members formerly from St Mary the Virgin Parish (ACCA-TAC), South Caulfield)
Five ACCA-TAC priests are named as contacts on the website so I assume they will be coming with parish communities (though this could be wrong) but will wait for a formal announcement. Interestingly, Bishop Robarts, initially named as a contact for Tasmania, is no longer listed but it was probably considered 'bad politics' to be on the site whilst still in post in the ACCA.
United Kingdom - formerly The Traditional Anglican Church (TTAC-TAC)
Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham
St Agatha's Church, Landport, Portsmouth, Hampshire
Presteigne Ordinariate Group, Powys, Wales, formerly the TTAC parish community led by Fr Gill.
The Communion of Saints
I hope there's room for me.

That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
I see that the Catholic Herald is reporting that the Traditional Anglican Communion has rejected Rome's offer to join the Ordinariates for former Anglican (http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2012/03/07/breakaway-anglicans-reject-popes-offer/ ). The problem is that this is only true as far as it goes. As it happens, the majority of the TAC in Canada, a large section of the TAC in the USA, a large group in Australia and parts of the TAC here in the UK have already begun preparing to join the Ordinariates in their areas (the Ordinariate of the Southern Cross for Australia is in the pipeline).
The meeting reported as taking place in South Africa met without a number of bishops (particularly those known to be standing by their original decision to join with Rome) and some members of the TAC question its validity. Archbishop Prakash of the Indian section of the TAC has been unanimously elected acting Primate after the unanimous vote (of those attending and with the right to vote - interesting to see how that was decided) to remove Archbishop Hepworth of Australia as Primate. Archbishop Hepworth, who wasn't in South Africa, was resigning soon anyway.
The rest of the TAC not at the South African meeting, but not yet on the way to Rome (or maybe not joining but unhappy with the behaviour of those who met in South Africa) are planning to meet soon according to a statement by Archbishop Hepworth.
What has most depressed me about this whole situation has been the utter predictability of the whole business and the often unkind ways in which fellow Christians have treated each other. I know I will be attacked for this but let me make my opinion clear: personal animus has been allowed to replace civility and the rush to expel reminds me of my early days in politics when some would lay claim to being 'true' socialists and the rest were traitors. Oh, don't get me wrong, there will be lots of remarks about 'more in sorrow than anger' and some will mean it.
So, best of luck to the Traditional Anglican Communion (Prakash), Traditional Anglican Communion (Hepworth) and the warmest of welcomes to those who are joining in union with Rome through the Ordinariates.

So, am I wrong about Archbishop Hepworth?
I have just been directed to a post by an Australian priest, Fr Fleming, who disagrees with a comment I made on the site of Fr Finnegan (http://valleadurni.blogspot.com/) which was copied to the 'English Catholic' ( http://catholicusanglicanus.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/a-critical-comment/#comments ) for comments.
Identifying me, incorrectly, as Paul Donovan, Fr Fleming insists I am wrong when it comes to Archbishop Hepworth (Primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion) and that he has not refused to enter the Catholic Church as a layman, given the difficulties of his position as a former Roman Catholic Priest with an irregular marriage situation, but is continuing to consider his decision, commenting:
"Archbishop Hepworth has not rejected Rome’s judgement and nor has he refused to return to the Catholic Church. I do not know where Paul has got this from, but he is quite wrong."
My comment was based upon the remarks made by +Hepworth himself when he wrote that he intended to remain the Bishop of the Anglican Catholic Church in Australia (retaining oversight in Japan) and the Primate of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada. I would assume that was a decision to not return to the Roman Catholic Church.
If I am incorrect, I apologise, but it is difficult to know what else can be meant by Archbishop Hepworth's own statements.
If I may say so, Fr Chadwick's added comment is unfair :
"We need a reaction against the prevailing wisdom that would have Archbishop Hepworth go down in history as a fraud, a madman or whatever. More reactions like that of Fr Fleming would be welcome, to show that some do care."
I have not claimed he is a fraud or a madman, I have simply expressed some upset based upon his own comments. I both care about his situation and pray for him.
Perhaps Fr Fleming could clear up the confusion for those of us who are suffering it?
