Sorry for the cross posting, but thought that I may get helpful responses from all three lists. I am wanting to find some baptisms that I think took place in North Petherwin in two different time periods: 1807 - 1811 and 1839 - 1848. According to the Devon GENUKI page for North Petherwin, "Entered into the IGI (as of Jan 1993): Parish Church Christenings 1606-1850 (from Bishops' Transcripts)." However, when I do a search of the IGI I do not find the baptisms I am looking for. Of course, the baptisms might not have occurred in North Petherwin, which would explain why I cannot find them. I would like to double-check this theory by searching the IGI using the batch number, however when I search http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Trail/8333/index4.html, I do not find any batch numbers for North Petherwin, under either Cornwall or Devon. Finally, when I search the LDS Family History Library Catalog online at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp, I don't find these Bishop's Transcripts noted in any of the search results. I find instead only Bishop's Transcripts 1676 - 1773, Marriage Transcripts 1611 - 1812, Parish Chest Materials 1493 - 1839 and Parish Register Extracts 1634 - 1784, and also a computer printout for Christenings 1676 - 1805 and a marriage index for 1813 - 1837. So, it appears that I cannot order microfilms of the BTs that are mentioned as being in the IGI. I thought that generally records are both microfilmed and entered into the IGI. Can anyone clarify this? Can someone please tell me for certain if these BTs are indeed in the IGI, and if so what the batch number is? I have contacted the Cornwall Record Office - they hold baptisms from 1653 - 1899, so I can hire a researcher if necessary to search these. I have also tried locating records for this time period at the Devon Record Office, Devon Family History Society, Cornwall Family History Society, Cornish Forefathers Society & the Devon & Cornwall Record Society. According to the web sites of all of these organisations, they do not hold transcriptions of these years. Is there any other way for me to get my hands on the parish records for the time period that I need?
