Hello all Just to add a comment re the International Genealogical INDEX. If we remember that the IGI is an index then we shouldn't be surprised at #s 3,4,5,6,7 listed in previous messages. It is an index not a transcription of the parish register. has a few drawbacks, that you should be aware: >> >>1) Accuracy is suspect, all extracted records must be checked against the original registers >>2) Birth and burial dates are not usually given, burial information never show the age of a person at death. >>3) Illegitimate births do not show the name of the father, even if recorded in register >>4) Comments and asides (sometimes very useful information) by the parson are not recorded >>5) Marriages do not indicate if a person is single, a widow or a widower, when marrying >>6) Marriages do not show name of the parish in which the bride or bridegroom were living prior to the marriage >>7) Those present at a marriage (witnesses) are not recorded >>8) Inscriptions from graveyards are never supplied Regards Marjorie
