London parish  records updates 24/25 Sept.10   Do we start from scratch,  again, or is there a way of finding  any added  new ones  or part(s) of Any exciting ones?

It's just more of the ongoing digitisation project.

The whole thing won't be finished until 2011.

Hi Dawn,  When you say ongoing, does that mean it could be anywhere on eg. London Births and Baps 1812-1906
and we just start from scratch looking for the ones we couldn't find before? In the hope we may be lucky this time?
Sorry to be a pain about this, just  wanted to know just what had been updated.
Many thanks 2mm

According to the staff at the LMA, there haven't been any updates that have been made aware of.

What has happened though, is that when you do a search, you no longer get the date, parish & borough in the list of results  :-\

Ancestry's response on their UK Blog:

    Thank you all for your comments – we are taking this very seriously and are in the process of looking into the reasons behind the issues raised. We will feedback to you as soon as we have an update. In the meantime, if you would like to speak to anyone directly please call our Member Services number on 0800 404 97 23.

I wonder how long it will take for them to feedback to us (any noun can be verbed!) or how long it will take to repair the databases — just when I needed them, too!
