Shirley - Perhaps an even better way to search the IGI is the Hugh Wallis
IGI site on-line:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumb...
When the page comes up, look for the paragraph, What is a batch? Under it
is a button to click to skip this stuff...... Click on that, and it will
take you to a list of countries. You can click on Wales, and get a list of
counties, including Montgomery. Clicking on Montgomery will take you to a
listing of towns and parishes. You can look at each or just click on the
births/christenings for Bettws Cedewin.
I like to look at the whole list of christenings for that parish, so rather
than type in a surname, I just click on "Submit Query." That will give you
the whole list of names for that parish entered into the IGI for that time
period. You can scroll down the list until you find a name you're
interested in. At the bottom of the list, there is a "Next" button which
will take you to the next page.
In this instance, there are two Catharine Maurice's listed. One christened
26 Jun 1798 at Bettws Cedewin, dau of Maurice Griffiths and Mary. The
second christened 29 Mar 1811, dau of Maurice Griffiths and Mary Evans.
Perhaps the first daughter died. You can then look thru the rest of the
Maurice/Morris records to find her siblings: Maurice Maurice, christened 08
Jan 1809; Mary Maurice, christened 01 Jun 1806; Thomas Maurice christened
15 Nov 1801. There may be other children listed at later dates under the
surname Griffiths. The people extracting the information changed from given
names to surnames sometime around 1812, but some earlier. Also, keep in
mind, these are not always in strict alphabetical order.
Hope your computer starts working again soon.

FrostSES - Up to a certain date (1812?), almost all of the children's names
ere indexed that way on the IGI for Wales. The transcribers took the old
atronymic naming system: John son of David Hughes would be indexed John
avid. Sometimes, they are listed both ways, by the father's given name,
hen secondly by the father's surname: John David, and John Hughes. So if
ou use the old FamilySearch records, you have to look under both
ossibilities.

ubject: [POWYS] POWYS ~ Christian name given as Surname???
Hello Listers
I wonder if anyone has come across a baptism record such as below where the
hild has the surname of the father's Christian name. I have looked for
he marriage to David Hughes but it was not on the Family Search site and
an't think of another way to cross check it i.e. to early for census.
ny thoughts would be much appreciated.
