Sorry. It's such a long website address, I had to look it up again, as I have it in my favourites.

It's

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm

It's really useful. You can search by parish, find out the IGI coverage for each parish and - best of all - if you have a particular surname in a particular parish, you can search for all the others of that surname in that parish!!

If you know which are the neighbouring parishes - you can search in them too!

Like I said - invaluable. Have a go - I use it all the time.   ;D

HELP!!!

Many thanks for all your replies, really appreciated. i think i am going to sign up to Ancestry.

Just one query though if anyone can clear it up, i have done a search on ancestry.com and found a member tree that has some very intresting details on, when i try the same search on the UK (ancestry.co.uk) the details do not come up.

In order to contact this member i do need to subscribe, if i subscribed to the UK site would that allow me to obtain this members contact information on the other (.com) site, the member appears to be in New Zealand.

many thanks in advance

Andrew

Infact looking again just now there is not an option to select New Zealand as the country when searching the member trees section like the .com site

Doing an all countries search dose not bring the information up either

I use Ancestry at the moment but someone on here told me that there is a package on findmypast.com that isn't pay per view and includes records that Ancestry doesn't have.  I am very pleased with Ancestry though, think it's very good value.  I've just started using Lost Cousins but no joy so far, although the more people that sign up (it's free) the more likely they are to find lost cousins. 

I like Genes Reunited as well but am not subscribed to that at the moment.

That's brilliant Pegasuss and I'm glad to hear we are being taken seriously. 

Whenever I send errors to a certain site that I won't mention either, I always get the feeling they are just humouring us!
