(Jane Devlin's original, edited.) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected] To: <[email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 11: 03 AM Subject: [CTMID] Barbour Records via IGI SKS on the general CT mailing list posted a way to access the Barbour listings of Connecticut vital records on the LDS site. It starts out fairly complicated because, while the Barbour film numbers are listed in the catalog, you need to find a "Batch Number" in order to search them. The post gave one batch # and directions for searching for one surname. Since then, I've been playing around with it - I've added over 150 birth records! In the process, I've been making a list of the surnames and the batch #s that will access them which I'll paste in below. The information on the LDS site is a transcription [by volunteers] of the microfilmed original Barbour transcriptions, so I suppose it would be considered a 3rd hand source, but the LDS practice of double keying transcriptions of records [two different people type the data in and any discrepancies are analyzed by a third person], it's going to be fairly accurate, in my opinion. To access the data, first go to the FamilySearch site at http://familysearch. org/Eng/Search/frameset_search. asp and choose the International Geneological Index. Using the guide below, enter a surname & a batch number. Be sure to set the region for North America. If the surname you want isn't listed, play around a little and try a number on either side of the unsuccessful one. The batch numbers run sequentially and correspond with the alphabetically sorted films.
