    3. Hi Nick Sorry I thought it was posted on the list a few days ago Yes too good to last I am afraid A week or so back the change happened, I presume its due to a change by the record owners Its not the first record set to have this change They will still be available at an LDS FHS but that is no help for most Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 15-Mar-17 9:24 PM, Nick Higton via DERBYSGEN wrote: > For the past few months, I've been able to view, on FamilySearch at > home, digital images of a number of Derbyshire Parish Registers, > including Wirksworth. > > This week, I'm denied access to view and get a message stating they are > only viewable to signed-in members of supporting organizations > (presumably LDS), or when using the site at a family history center. > > Is it just me, or was it too good to last?

    1. [DBY] Parish Register Images on FamilySearch
    2. Nick Higton
    3. For the past few months, I've been able to view, on FamilySearch at home, digital images of a number of Derbyshire Parish Registers, including Wirksworth. This week, I'm denied access to view and get a message stating they are only viewable to signed-in members of supporting organizations (presumably LDS), or when using the site at a family history center. Is it just me, or was it too good to last?

This isn`t far from Snelston. best wishes Marjorie Ward Sources for Disley; Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley www.disley.net Sources for NWDby incl Chapel; Charlesworth; Chinley; Fernilee; Glossop; Hayfield; Hope Valley; Mellor & New Mills http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dusk

    2. Eric Millward
    3. As a last resort I would like to enlist the resources of this list in helping me to trace back from my 2xg g grandfather Benjamin MILWARD please. He was baptised at Snelston on 14th September 1790. His parents were John and Margaret but that is all I have been able to find out about them. Benjamin married Hannah RADFORD who I believe was from Colton, Staffordshire. He was an "ag lab" and they lived in the Fenny Bentley area for some time. Benjamin was buried at Ashbourne on 18th May 1834 when his address was Hanging Bridge between Ashbourne and Mayfield. In In 1841 Hannah was employed (and probably lived) at Wood Eaves Mill on Bentley Brook, Tissington. I have a John and Margaret marrying at Fenny Bentley on 27th October 1817 but they are too young to be Benjamin's parents. There is a burial of a Margaret MILLWARD aged 79 (i.e.born 1758) of Fenny Bentley at Tissington, Derbyshire on 17 December 1837 and also at Tissington a MI for John MILLWARD died Nov 14 1841 aged 75 years (i.e. b 1766). They are possibilities but I have no further information about them and MIL(L)WARD was not a rare name in Fenny Bentley at that time. Ref.The MILLWARD Murders!!

    3. Jim Thank you for the email I have spent some time looking through what I have on the Lynams looking for a likely George b c1746 sadly to no avail The Derbyshire Lynam family were certainly centred around North Wingfield and Duffield area at this time. I will certainly follow this up and see what I can find about Lynam movement to the colonies. If I find anything interesting I will let you know All I have from Valerie's records is: Richard Lynam killed by Indians 1777 in Powell Valley. He had a brother Andrew Lynam Andrew Lynam died 1771New Castle County Delaware, married Brita John Lynam born 23/12/1631 at N Wingfield Place New Jersey I still have many, many boxes and files to examine (Valerie spent her whole adult life researching the Lynam name of Derbyshire) Peter > On 20 Feb 2017, at 22:20, James Linam via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks so much for creating the Lynam website. My name is James Linam, and I have been trying to find a link between my South Carolina Linam’s and their English homeland for 50 years now. I have focused on Derbyshire because of the many Lynams, but without any real evidence of a link. I joined DerbysGen a couple of years ago and narrowly missed contacting Valerie Jones. An Irish DNA authority checked my DNA and concluded that my genetic “homeland" was within 10 miles of Belper. This weekend, Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> allowed open access to their UK files, and I have spent several hours looking at the Lynams in Derbyshire. There seem to be two centers in the 18th century: N. Wingfield and Duffield. Christian names are, for the most part, very similar to my family. However, I’m not looking for Quakers, and I know that some Derbyshire Quakers went to Philadelphia and the Delaware valley. My oldest ancestor in America was George Linam, born about 1746 (place unknown) and died in 1815. He owned a plantation in the upcountry (highlands) of South Carolina and was, thus, a slaveholder - anathema to the Quakers. If there are Lynams remaining in Derbyshire (including your wife), who may have any insight into Linam emigrants to the American colonies in the 1740s, I would very much like to correspond with them. Also, I have done some fairly extensive y-chromosome testing through FamilyTreeDNA and have a minority haplogroup: I-1a1b. The subclades are Nordic and suggest Viking, Norman or Anglo-Saxon ancestors. But that’s all much earlier than the link I’m looking for. > > Once again, thanks for the website.

    3. In case people aren't on the mailing list I've just received this: In the next few months a number of changes will be implemented in the London FamilySearch Centre services at Kew. We have been based within The National Archives at Kew since August 2011, and our planned stay of several months has stretched to several years. The National Archives have been gracious landlords, but our contract with them will end on 30 June 2017. Our presence will continue at Kew in a 'legacy' mode until at least the end of March 2019, although with mutual agreement, this could be extended. However, the size of presence at Kew and the type of offerings will change in June 2017. More information will be available closer to the time. Meanwhile, you should be aware of the following: Microfilm Collection The permanent microfilm collection now at Kew has been given to the Society of Genealogists. According to current plans, it will be available there starting early in June 2017, although this date may slip. See www.sog.org.uk for the Society's address, opening times and charges. For those who are not members, there is a daily or part daily charge for using the Society's resources, and also a daily charge for using a camera. It is likely that films at Kew will not be accessible from about mid-May, although this date could also slip. Further information will be given when available. FamilySearch has now digitised the film collection at Kew, and is now beginning to make some sub-collections available online to browse at any family history centre including Kew. As an example, the burials of Woodgrange Cemetery, all post-1858 record copy wills for both the Prinicipal Registry and the District Courts, and the Irish Registry of Deeds films held at Kew are now available. The rest of the Kew films have been given a very high priority in the schedule of providing digital remote access to films, but it is not possible to say when each film will appear. Legal issues may prevent some of the Kew collection from being available online. Kew films now available to browse will be able to be identified using the Salt Lake Family History Library catalogue available under 'Search' on the FamilySearch website. Go to the film number as shown in the Family History Library Catalogue filtered by 'London FamilySearch Centre' and look for the little picture of a camera to browse. Also available to browse are more than 65,000 films from the British Isles and many tens of thousands of films from other parts of the world which are not part of the Kew film collection. Note that these online films will not appear in a list of 'historical record collections' or 'browse collections' on the 'Search Records' page. Patron Short Term Films at Kew Patrons who now have short term films at Kew will be able to continue to view them at Kew, either using Kew readers or FamilySearch readers (as long as the latter are available). They will remain available to view when the permanent collection has been moved. Scans of images will continue to be available as at present. Film orders which have not yet arrived will be delivered to Kew as normal. New films to be viewed at Kew can still be ordered. We appreciate your patience while these changes occur.

Just discovered a photo of my my wife’s great grandparents with great uncles and aunts amongst the photographs, very excited about that.

Although it is a while ago now, last time I placed a certificate order with checking points, it emerged that the search only includes checking a certain number of entries, so for a common name this may not cover all possibilities in the 3 years in question. I am not sure if this is still the case, or how I heard about it, but when I was advised that they hadn't found the birth I was looking for, I remember having to ring up to discover which entries had actually been checked, and could therefore be eliminated. I have a feeling that only 4 entries were checked.

Although it is a while ago now, last time I placed a certificate order with checking points, it emerged that the search only includes checking a certain number of entries, so for a common name this may not cover all possibilities in the 3 years in question. I am not sure if this is still the case, or how I heard about it, but when I was advised that they hadn't found the birth I was looking for, I remember having to ring up to discover which entries had actually been checked, and could therefore be eliminated. I have a feeling that only 4 entries were checked.
