I have just started using the BTs on FamilySearch so far to cross off a few of my 'to dos'. A QUESTION It is clear from trying the 'search' page that only a few of the entries have been indexed so far, so I have been browsing. However, when I do this I get a list of file no.s rather than parish names. They are clearly alphabetical and it hasn't been too much trouble to find what I want but does anyone know if there is a list linking the parish to the no.? I thought the appropriate ref. would be on FamilySearch's page for the parish, but I couldn't see it there. A CORRECTION When BTs were mentioned a while back, I gave what now seems to be bad (or incomplete) advice. I suggested using the Devon Heritage Centre online catalogue to find out what survives for a given parish. However, I now realise this seems to lack coverage from 1700 to the start of the Late BTs (1813 or 1814). So, looking there can be useful if you are interested in the C17th; from what I have seen it is accurate for that period, or for the Late BTs, but not for the C18th, for which many but not all survive. Most (but not all) of the parishes I have looked at seem to lack any mention of these in the catalogue entries. FAMILY SEARCH coverage (so far) For anyone who has not yet use or noticed the availability of the BTs, they can be searched / browsed from page https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2515875 . From a fairly quick look *I think* everything is there for parishes from the beginning of the alphabet to Ide, then a complete gap until Plymouth St Andrews, then for that parish on just the late BTs. Potentially particularly useful are the BTs for those parishes who refused permission for their PRs to go onto FMP - I have ancestors from both Buckland Monachorum and East Allington (the latter found under Allington, East). Thanks, Teresa

Am I missing something with what you want to know? The FS Catalogue can be searched by place-name or film/fiche, so it is possible to find the films for each place. Deciding what's been indexed and what's had just images put up is another ball game. I just tried to use the catalogue to search for Abbots Bickington, for no reason other than it's the first one on the list. It does try to prompt you with a name partway through - I accepted the prompt because I'm not sure that access via another version would work. That gave me (from memory) 4 or so headings, one of which contained several items including the BTs and it was clear that this lot was in the images, at least. I've not given detail on the steps because I'd need to try several options to work out the significant differences between the imaged parishes and the image-less ones. But I suspect you can try a few and find what you need. It's just that you have to do it parish by parish. Adrian On 24 April 2016 at 14:09, Teresa Goatham via <[email protected]> wrote: > ......
