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

	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.
