Familysearch
« on: Sunday 12 February 06 12:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Does anyone know why there are no databases at all regarding Westmorland or Cumberland on Familysearch? It's very frustrating.

Just curious - won't the local records offices play ball or what?

There are lots!!!!!!

Have you tried searching for the batch numbers using this site?
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm

Cumberland and Westmorland both feature quite heavily.

You know what - I've just had what I think is politely referred to as ' a senior moment'!

I meant FamilyHistoryOnline. Why aren't any Westmoreland and Cumberland ( now Cumbria) databases included on their site?

I've had lots of info from familysearch and the Hugh Wallis site.

How embarrassing!    :-[

Hi

I've just used Hugh Wallis site to access Westmorland records with no problem, keep in mind that the Hugh Wallis site only has links (no data) to the old FamilySearchIGI website so if the LDS Familysearch are working on their system there may be difficulties.

The biggest issue is what happens if the LDS Familysearch withdraw their old site as Hugh Wallis does not link to the new one.
