Dear All: Here are the corrections to my previous post regarding the search engine by Hugh Wallis. A: The index searches the LDS index.It is not a separate database. B: The index is North America ( with Canada first :-) C: Europe is limited to the UK at this time. The other search hint comes from one of the users. If you insert the batch number in the marriage index, it will list all the surnames in alphabetical order. A nice touch if there are potential spelling variations. My apologies to Hugh for the errors.

Thanks John but here is a very important correction: I have not "compiled those records into a database by Parish that allows searching all the surnames on all the particular film in that entire Parish" as that would be a violation of LDS's copyright. What I have done is created an index to the LDS's index and presented it in a way that enables you to go to the LDS site in an easy to use manner, directly from my site, without doing a lot of guesswork about what batch numbers are valid, searching for and retyping of batch numbers. Could you correct that point wherever you may have sent your original message please Many thanks Hugh -----Original Message----- From: Hugh Wallis [mailto:hugh@our-own-home.com] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:36 PM To: 'John A Hansen' Subject: RE: Hugh Wallis Updates his IGI Database ! Importance: High A further correction - not just the USA but all of North America (and I put Canada first you notice!!) Also I haven't done Europe - just the British Isles Thanks Hugh
