Thanks Nivard and Diane for the information about calling up rootsweb to search many lists for an individual subject. That hadn't occurred to me at all - I've got my novices hat on here and have to confess I rarely look at rootsweb these days. The reminder is most welcome. Thanks also Nivard (and Tom for bringing it up) for information about the entries on the old IGI site that don't appear on today's version. We always knew that when it was changed there appeared to be lots of stuff missing, but I guess over time you tend to forget and expect it to be there still. I've experienced a deal of frustration over the last couple of years with this site, although there have been times when they're the only site to have a mention of a person I'm researching. I don't know if it's just me, but I also find Findmypast's search engine extremely frustrating and difficult to pin it down to the exact things I'm looking for. It seems the more they try to cram into one search, the harder it is to find what we're looking for. I won't be renewing my subscription again as I get no pleasure in searching on there any more.
