Dear All:
Here are the corrections to my previous post
regarding the search engine by Hugh Wallis.
A: The index searches the LDS index.It is not
a separate database.
B: The index is North America ( with Canada first :-)
C: Europe is limited to the UK at this time.
The other search hint comes from one of the
users. If you insert the batch number in the
marriage index, it will list all the surnames
in alphabetical order. A nice touch if there
are potential spelling variations.
My apologies to Hugh for the errors.
Best Regards
John A Hansen

Thanks John but here is a very important correction:
I have not "compiled those records into a database by Parish that allows
searching all the surnames on all the particular film in that entire Parish"
as that would be a violation of LDS's copyright. What I have done is created
an index to the LDS's index and presented it in a way that enables you to go
to the LDS site in an easy to use manner, directly from my site, without
doing a lot of guesswork about what batch numbers are valid, searching for
and retyping of batch numbers.
Could you correct that point wherever you may have sent your original
message please
Many thanks
Hugh

Importance: High
A further correction - not just the USA but all of North America (and I put
Canada first you notice!!)
Also I haven't done Europe - just the British Isles
Thanks
Hugh
