Updated Website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ The following items or files have been added/updated at the site, look under What's New (Some files are for all Ireland) 1. New Births Scotland will link to the all new birth index Scotland for selected names listed If the file starts in the 1855 time frame it is probably complete, if not I have work to do on it. 2. Ireland Miscellaneous Batch Numbers, this file is for Donegal at the moment, others counties will be added as I sort and uplink them. This file lists Batch Number that have Donegal data in the file. Each Batch Number lists many areas in Ireland but my listing breaks it down for each Parish in the county. At the top of the page their are links that will take you to Hugh Wallis or the Familysearch.org websites. How To Do It: At the Hugh Wallis site you can click Submit Query button which will take you to the Familysearch.org website search page. Hugh Wallis's site has extensive Batch Number data but I have broken down the Miscellaneous Batch Number for each County/Parish in one file. My site is not automated at this time, you have to do a bit of manual labour entering numbers. 1. Enter the batch number in the box bottom left corner of Familyseach page (from the Batch File Numbers list on my site) and it will produce a list of all the names in that batch file. OR 2. At the *bottom *right of Hugh Wallis's page enter the batch number from my site in the box and Bingo you have the list. Highlight Batch Number (Ctrl C) copies and move cursor to Box(Ctrl V) pastes the Batch Number to the box If you enter a name in the Surname box and Batch file Number in Batch Number box you will get all the surnames for that area on the film. Use your search key (Ctrl + F) to search for the parish you require e.g. Mountcharles ----------------------------------------------------------- Batch Number searches take time to scan the entries, Hugh Wallis has produced an outstanding interface to the Familysearch Batch File System without it many of us would go blind looking up each film.
