	I keep finding, when I go to the Hugh Wallis IGI Batch Numbers site, that I can't find the parish I need. When I find a place of birth on a census I try to find that, if that isn't there I look up which registration district its in and try that, but even so I am very often not able to find anything that even looks right. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so how do you get round it please? Jan.

	Is the IGI an ongoing project, so that parishes which are missing now might appear in the future? Jan.
