I expect most of you knew about it already!! But............ Having been using familysearch the hard way - for months - putting in rellies surname and County. How much better it is to go through England I.G.I. (batch numbers), County by County, then Town, then parish, even the actual churches!! And ending up with a whole list of your ancestors!!! Wooo Hoo!! Marvellous!! |
