Good evening all. This is just to let any of you know who have not yet discovered it that the FreeCen site went live recently. Its address is: http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl The data will be drawn from the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, and 1891 Census Returns. At present they only have LOVELOCK data in their 1891 records, and I have extracted all this (a mere 10 records) and sent it to James, for eventual inclusion, perhaps, on the Website. We will obviously need to keep a watching brief on this resource as it grows, but you may find other non-Lovelock data on there which will help your researches. Happy hunting! Regards Graham

On the subject of sources, I learned from the Glamorgan mailing list that the IGI section on the FamilySearch Web pages has been enhanced - see details below. James This was copied from the Family Search website. Thanks to the Manchester Mailing List and the List Owners E & W for this information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Updated International Genealogical Index of the International Genealogical Index is now available on the FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service (FamilySearch Internet). This new version contains the following enhancements: * More Names. More names have been added to the index. These names were received since the last release in January 2000. * Regular updates. The index will be updated as new information is received. Note: There are no current plans to update the International Genealogical Index on compact disc. * Individuals linked into families. Some individuals are linked into families and can be displayed on family groups and pedigree charts. The number of linked individuals is relatively small but is expected to grow significantly in the future. You can also download family group records and pedigree charts. * Additional event information. All events that were in original user submissions are now displayed and can be used as search criteria. * Improved searching. You can now search the index by given name, surname and state, and more types of events, even across regions. The processes used to find individuals in spite of spelling and other differences in the name have also been improved. * Information to describe the source. When you display an individual¹s records, you will see messages that describe the source of the information.
