Olde Crone's tips for using the IGI are great - so is one further on - about page 11/12 I think - about pressing Ctrl and F. Helped me loads and really speeded things up. |

I know - it's the excitement - gets me all of a dither! I found records for my OH's direct line going back to 1640 and apart from the fact I was reeeeely jealous I was jumping up and down in the chair getting all overheated!!! |

just use it as guide - be wary - when I started out I can recall arguing in a Mormons Record Office that there had to be children shown for a couple I had found only to be told there must not be any - when I pointed out they were my g.g.parents and I would not be here if they were childless. Even 20 years later as far as IGI is concerned they are still childless. |

Can you find it by going through Hugh Wallis batch numbers? |

I've suddenly found people I've been looking for before but never lost anyone I had found previously. |

So you're saying I have to keep searching repeatedly for all my rellies? EEP! Tried searching for her everyway I can. I know I got it from there because I make a note of the source. Just my luck LOL. |

The record that I got off there last week isn't there anymore so I can't find her siblings. Whyyyyyyyyyyy? |
