Hugh Wallis's Genealogical Web Sites
IGI Batch Numbers - British Isles and North America
Hugh Wallis Says:
"I have often wondered if all the batches were present and I have found that manually typing the batch numbers into the IGI search screen can be tedious. I therefore decided to make an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers and create a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. I have searched all the possible numbers in the ranges shown below. For each batch I extracted the church or chapel (if specified), town, county and country names of the first record that appears when it is called up in my browser. I then organised them by country and county and created this website. A very powerful feature that I have included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at http://www.familysearch.org, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing."
IGI Middle Name indexes
Hugh has also created middle name indexes from the IGI for all English and Scottish counties as listed below. To do this he extracted the relevant records from the batches listed on the relevant county page from my IGI Batch number site and indexed them by middle name.
He also has the Stoke Damerel (Devon) On Line Parish Clerk (OPC) site
