All Here's a fabulous site that enables you to search for your ancestors by surname in a particular place. This contrasts with familysearch.org where you have to do it by country. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page Just go to the country of choice near the end of the page and form there pick a county/town, click on a corresponding batch number, then input the name you are searching in the box that appears top left and voila. bfn Alan
This is a great site Alan, although very time consuming! I've been pottering around on it yesterday, downloading whatever I could find that may at least come in handy later on. I haven't started searching for K/nibbs entries as yet, so I'm sure someone else on the list will beat me to it! :) Rob. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 20 February, 2002 8:49 am Subject: [K/NIBB/S] IGI Batch Numbers All Here's a fabulous site that enables you to search for your ancestors by surname in a particular place.

All I went into this web sight and found that in some cases there were no males listed in the batches. I went into Akeley and there are only females christenings and marriages. I also searched other places in Scotland and found that there were males here. I am going to try and send a message to the LDS to see why there are no males for some parishes. If anyone has an answer please let me know. bfn Joyce [email protected] wrote: > All > > Here's a fabulous site that enables you to search for your ancestors by > surname in a particular place.
