Hi Sandra, If you look at the "messages:" and "Source Information:" on the IGI Individual Record after you find it you can clik on the underlined "Batch No" and "Source Call No.:" and it will give you information. Let me give an example. step 1: I searched for Mally Kershaw with Parents John Kershaw and Sarah (ususally in the parish records only the mothers name is given). step 2: From this list I opened the Individual Records and found the one with the Message "Extracted birth or christening record for locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date." I choose this one because it was extracted from origional microfilm records. It went thru two or more checks and is usally the most accurate as you don't know what the member seached on the member subbmitted ones> step 3: (I see the source call no. is 942.74 B1 B4B V.4 Book (This would be in the SL Family History Library. ) I click on the P009141 and when it brings up the seach page with this number in I type in the father's name John Kershaw. (Because some records list only the father. I get a list of 8 names. SURPRISE! # 8 is Hannah Kershaw Ch 16 Jul 1785 with just the father listed on the individual record as is Mally's. Could this be a twin? The other 6 names have the father's full name and mother's first name. I also see Grace's surname was missread as "Cershaw" by the extractors. step 4: I don't see Jonas, so I go back to seach page and type in just jonas's first name and look at the list to see if there is another missread, but can't find it. I can now leave the seach page blank except for the batch no and go thru the whole list page by page to see if there is any that could be him. Some times on the last page there are things like "child" or unknow that could be him or he might be in another parish etc. It still pays to go back to the origionals and check even with the extracted ones. In the FHlibrary search of bradford I found England, York, Thornton (near Bradford) then England, York, Thornton (near Bradford) - Church records then Parish register transcripts, 1678-1820 it is on 1597212 items 1-8 are the parish register for Church of England Chaperlry of Thornton (near Bradford. The member submission records are the origional temple records and can only be viewed by members who hold a current temple recommend or letter from their Bishop and are in the Salt Lake FHlibrary in special rooms. There you can see the origional family group sheets submitted. Some of them do have references, but most of the ones I've looked at don't have any. Hope this helps, and is clear enough, if not feel free to contact me.

Hi listers, Some help required please. I have for some time being using PAF 5 to record details of my ancestors and find it a great asset. However I now find a need to create a new PAF with my paternal grandmother at the head of it. There must surely be a way to extract this detail but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to list the steps. Thanks in anticipation of some help. David Drake
