Flora MacDonald Ontario, Canada -----Original Message----- From: Hugh Wallis [mailto:hugh@our-own-home.com] Sent: February 15, 2002 21:01 To: 'Glamorgan List'; 'London List'; 'Surrey List'; 'Somerset List'; 'Norfolk list'; 'Kent List'; 'Brecon List'; 'Gwent List'; 'Monmouthshire List'; 'Powys List'; 'Northants List'; 'Bucks List'; 'Berks List'; 'Cornwall List' Subject: IGI Batch Numbers - a new facility Dear listers Have you been frustrated searching the IGI for your rellies when you have only the surname but got tired of figuring out batch numbers and typing them into the LDS search screen (since you can't do a last name search unless you know a batch number)? I have been - so I decided to do something about it. I have made an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers for the British Isles and created a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. I have searched all the possible numbers in the ranges shown on my website. For each batch I extracted the church or chapel (if specified), town, county and country names of the first record that appears when it is called up in my browser. I then organised them by country and county and created a website. A very powerful feature that I have included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at http://www.familysearch.org, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing. It also connects towns that are listed in more than one county in the IGI which can sometimes be a problem causing you to lose a relly because you are looking across a county border!! I hope you will like it - please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements, enhancements, or new features that I might be able to implement. (oh yes - where is the site? - I wondered if you would ask that. - take a look at my signature line) Thanks Hugh Wallis Ontario, Canada Formerly of Surrey, UK IGI Batch numbers - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page Title.htm ==== SCT-ARGYLL Mailing List ==== ***************************************************************** http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Argyll is the GenConnect board for Argyll ------=_Part_520_5663340.1013871101716--
