    3. Lots of my favourites have already been mentioned many times ie Trove, Free BMD, Family Search, Genuki, Ancestry, FamilyHistorySA and Australian Cemeteries. Here are a few sites I've found usefuI which I haven 't seen (or missed) being mentioned, in no particular order. For Hackney (London) area burials http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~abneypark/abneyy.html I've found quite a few of my London lot here. Graham Jaunay's site http://www.jaunay.com/index.html Hugh Wallis's IGI Batch numbers (to search all the batches for a geographic location for just the surname you want) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#PageTitle Lancashire Online Parish Clerk http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ Found lots of my Lancashire ancestors here. Online Parish Clerks is a great idea and is growing but still covers only a small proportion of UK counties. http://www.onlineparishclerks.org.uk/ Convict ancestors? Try the Old Bailey site http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/ New Zealand old newspapers http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast New Zealand BDM online https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/ A Gypsy ancestor? http://website.lineone.net/~rtfhs/gypsy.html Historical Directories online (UK) http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/index.asp It's taken me some time to respond to this challenge as I've been so busy trying out websites new to me :-) so I hope these may help someone else as well. May I please have a copy of the complete list too? Thanks, Eileen
