The Common Room / Re: Hugh Wallis IGI WARNING VIRUS - Updated
« on: Saturday 11 October 08 16:41 BST (UK) »
As a researcher who has been tracing family trees for many years, I have found Hugh Wallis IGI batch numbers as pure gold in fact indispensible. After all rather than going on familysearch and putting in a name on their search (many names do not come up when searching this site) I can go on his site, click on for example, country, county and then parish/town/village that I want, and can trace the family and also see at a glance that I need to order the batch numbers that are missing (IGI). If the IGI is missing, and if it often especially the time 1800-1837 then I can order these records on fiche from the various family history societies for the parish records, so I know to order fiche to read on my fiche reader at home. Apart from that I have traced many family trees just looking at the wonderful Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers - my thanks to him.
You go on Hugh Wallis site, you have the choice of which country, then click on county, then on parish, and there you are - all records that you can look at, trace etc.
This site is invaluable to all us serious researchers, and I would like to thank Hugh Wallis for all his hard work for making the website available to us all, and making our searches so much easier.
I hope there will be a riot if Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers are not back on the internet soon. Jean a huge fan of Hugh Wallis over the years x

No I do not have a marriage of Andrew and Ann - despite searches of the parish records I have, (Durham and Northumberland) I have a fiche reader at home, and also IGI, and as yet I have not found the death of Andrew although he must have died Durham sometime after the bap of his last child William 1793 and up to 1837. With this in mind, I have sent for some more parish records on fiche, in the area he was living in - Chester le Street and Washington area Durham. I am a member of findmypast also, and nothing showing up for burials for an Andrew Affleck (and variations of the name) - courtesy of family history societies and joint findmypast.
