Thanks for all who have replied to my original message.

David thanks reminding me about NLS maps.

Shaun, I'm sorry you missed out on the old FS Mapping service. It was so easy to use. You didn't even have to login to FS, just type in the place to choose. I particularly miss the 'distance between various places'. 

As I said at the beginning of this thread, I was lamenting the loss of this facility, rather than criticising FS, who after all are doing their best to reinstate things.

Thanks for your suggestions Spelk and David N.

I just found the old FamilySearch maps so easy to use, especially to find contiguous parishes etc!

C'est la vie  ::)

Shaun, thanks for your reply.
I will wait until the next version appears - the interim one does nothing for me!

BumbleB, thanks also your post. I'm thinking of alternatives, like the one you've suggested.

Hello Shaun

Please could you explain in more detail.

I must be missing something here!  :-[

Thanks

I'm sorry that the FamilySearch Wiki map feature is now not in use.  :( :'(

As they say:"FamilySearch recently upgraded this map to new technology to ensure it can continue to perform efficiently.........and is testing an updated version. The former version is no longer available because it was on technology that can no longer be supported."

OK, but what a nuisance!! I find it especially useful when looking for neighbouring parishes etc. Can anyone suggest an easy alternative, rather than just Googling for a particular place?

I think that all children should be given the chance to learn Latin! ;D

Wouldn't it be great if more Junior schools could introduce "Minimus Mouse" as part of the curriculum - https://www.minimuslatin.co.uk/

Bring it on!

Thanks for your reply.

I've rechecked the Surnames Index pages again, but no luck. (The two with any potential were not relevant and very old posts).

Thanks and regards anyway,
Melbell

with some of their ancestors, who include Milner, Youlden, Holmes and Wakefield forebears....

I'd be grateful if you could let me know.
Thank you.
