    3. List, I think I found the Tithe dataset Charani was looking for. I found it under A-Z databases "world" and typed in either 1831 or tithe - and there it is ! If you look under A-Z databases UK and type in either 1831 or tithe - it doesn't appear.

Thank you! :) No wonder Brad and I got different results. Being in the UK and looking for a UK record, it makes sense (to me at least) to look in the UK databases. The default is World which is one of the reasons why I get the impression there'll be a single sub to World records only eventually. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

I was looking under World, but it works equally well by selecting Ireland. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Keep your drink just give em the money U & Ur Hand - P!nk

    3. The reason it comes under Worldwide databases is its an Irish database It comes up under Ireland or Worldwide Each time you go back in FMP it defaults to worldwide when you have a worldwide subscription which can be a bit annoying but sometimes finds databases like this one you weren't expecting to find As far as I know the Origins site only ever had this database for Tithes I don't think there will be just one worldwide subscription as they like to charge differing amounts for the various countries or worldwide I have been using the worldwide for quite a time so was used to its foibles before the UK version went over to the same As others have said, start with an individual database and drill down in that rather than the shot gun approach The New New search is lacking a keyword box, it does pick up some keywords in the blank box but not all The way they collect certain data together is the worst problem (ie GRO index with baptisms) Also you are never quite sure what is in a database until you get deeper into it, the A to Z of databases doesn't tell you if its a transcription only or with images etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > No wonder Brad and I got different results.
