Hi, Several weeks ago I posted a link for a site allowing researchers to search the IGI's UK holdings by surname. Basically, the site provides the batch numbers which are the key to the process. Today's news is that Hugh Wallis, the siteowner, has begun posting U.S. batch numbers. <My first lot of North American numbers are up on the site - you can <get to them from the same page as before - <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.h tm <- there will be more to come if folks can tell me what ranges to <look in!! <Please pass the word around <All the very best <Hugh Wallis <Ontario, Canada <Formerly of Surrey, UK>> That link above spans two lines in my email software, so you'll probably have to reassemble it in your browser.
