Hi The GMI article is on page 12/13 of the Jan/Mar Journal. I should have asked a direct question rather than beat about the bush. Do we want IMP names on the GMI? If so where are they going to come from? Since we members do not submit 90%+ of the information on the GMI, surely we must tailor future MCs to find them. A suggested form was provided, comment came there none. Thanks to all those who answered many other questions. Robert Fowler

Hi Robert, I tried to view your suggested form - I first had to sign into Google and then it said that the owner had to grant permission before I could view it. So far I have not received any permission. Steven Whitebread GoONS #3297

It's open to any member to go through a particular parish and contribute cardinal points. Before I became chairman another member and I started a project to "do" several parishes in Norwich RD. I still have two or three unfinished parishes that I will get to one day! There are now quite a few counties where a large amount of material is already online: http://one-name.org/wiki/guild-wiki/collect/sources-of-documentary-data/sources-for-england-wales/online-parish-register-sources-for-england-and-wales/. However, note that they are not always complete for every registration district. Gaps remain, certainly for Norfolk. The popularity of marriage challenges is dropping, perhaps due to the increase in volume of online data. The GMI feeds straight into the marriage locator database which can be accessed by anyone without a subscription to the large data providers. So producing cardinal points even for these online areas can still be very helpful to the wider genealogical community as well as to other members. Instructions are here, in case anyone is interested: http://one-name.org/members/GMI/CardPointCollect.html.
