Member Since: April 2009 Posts: 96 Send Message	Does anyone know about the batch numbers they are using for the Pilot? I've seen batches in the format C99999-9 (baptisms) and P99999-9 (baptisms) and M99999-9 (marriages) and I99999-9 (marriages) with system origins like England-EASy and England-ODM. The Cs, Ps and Ms follow the normal standard - just with a hyphen before the last digit - but the Is were classed as 'less trustworthy' patron submitted batches on the old IGI. I thought the new pilot was all controlled extractions and no patron submissions? So are batches starting with I on the pilot now trustworthy? Cf. Hugh Wallis' site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm They also have a Source Film Number and a Reference Number like 'page 5 of 40'. Where is the Source Call Number? This was useful to click to find the church name. And what does the 'system origin' signify? Mark.
