Some of the registers are not connected to a parish, which may be part of the problem. Yet another issue is that some registers are in the wrong country, e.g. Llansilin is in both Denbigh & Montgonery. FMP are particularly error prone and as a web developer I can confidently say their development team are not up to the grade required to deal with 100s of millions of records. Their search system is antiquated and much slower than it could be with a few tweaks. David On Wed, 2012-07-04 at 09:56 +1000, Graham Price wrote: > It's rather sad, really.
