Hi Linda A batch number found in the IGI is not a film number, although film is mentioned is the extreme right hand corner of the entry you originally located on the IGI which I've double checked. If a film number had been given it usually says it's a Call Number, American terminology is rather confusing I know. I rather suspect your entry could either be a restricted film or is a LDS patron submission for Temple Ready work in which case obtaining the film will be of no use to you whatsoever, as the entry you want is already shown on the IGI. Just remember that the IGI should be used as a 'finding aid only' not everybody is listed as it is basically a 2% name extraction taken from various Parish registers and Bishop's Transcripts. The IGI is regional and Ancestral File contains family units and pedigrees. I could not find your John Connolly under Ancestral File, which may have produced a submitter's name which could have been helpful but not necessarily so. I've checked my 1992 edition of the Batch Number Index microfiche which I have at home but could not locate the relevant batch number you quoted - C006339 is there but the film number given is for BT's for Aldgate but no C006341. I've also checked out http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm and again without success. Have also checked British Vital Records 2nd edition CD Rom (put out by the LDS church) which has some entries for Ireland again no luck with your John Connolly for the year and date you quote. I would perhaps advise you to go back to www.familysearch.org and look at the library catalogue located on the right hand side of the screen, click on place name, type in Cork and look under the sub heading of Church records - whatever the LDS have been allowed to film will appear here which you can then order from any LDS Family History Centre. Unfortunately, it's very much a case of a lucky dip - very few records are indexed. As John Connolly was born in 1878, look in the library catalogue under keyword search and type in Civil Registration Ireland and look for a film which covers 1878, and order in the film at your local LDS Family History centre. As these are indexes only, it will at least give you the relevant information in which to order a birth certificate in Ireland. I'm sorry I can offer no other suggestions, perhaps fellow listers may be able to add to my comments or to provide additional advice.

I have the information from familysearch.org. John Connolly date of birth 4 Feb 1878, Cork, son of Michael Connolly and Mary Hayes Connolly. The batch is listed as C006341 but I am unable to get that film. Is there anyone who might have access to this and provide more information to me as to how I could get a copy of this birth/baptismal information? Thank you, Linda
