Technical Help / Re: Archers Family Search IGI Batch - Trouble?
« on: Monday 10 January 22 01:24 GMT (UK) »
I think you are right Pheno, and following the familysearch upgrade the links from Archer's site (http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/) do not always work.
Under the hood - I think Archer's links appear as something like (using batch C025048 as an example)
It's relatively quick to go to the batch from within familysearch: Search > Records > More Options, then under Record Options you can add a batch number, as described by Archer's
Alternatively, you could continue to use Archer's and, when you get the error message, manually change the URL to add q. in front of batchNumber and surname if used.
