Subject: !!!NEW UPDATE - IGI Search Facility now includes USA!!! Dear Listers - I am so pleased to be able to announce this news. An incredible thing has happened for those searching for kindred connections in the USA. Our terrifically wonderful Hugh Wallis has done it again!!! Yes, you can now search the IGI by town, county and state with only a surname... What was done for the UK has graciously been extended to US records by harnessing the information so lovingly put together by the LDS. Use this new search feature here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm Hugh, we salute you! Your philanthropic work is a gift we appreciate.

I have personally benefited a <great deal from your work already and thank you heartily for it. <As I subscribe to the LDS-Lessons list, others were asking when this <was going to be done for other places, such as the United States. I <replied to the list that you had done this work on your own and <unless someone wanted to accumulate the data and ask if you would <share the programming needed, it probably wasn't going to happen <anytime soon. >>
