Dear List,

Was someone looking for the name MAIS this past week or so?

I was just following up on some info supplied by Jo and came across a John
MAIS who was curate at St James Bristol in 1806 at the marriage of my
GASTRELL/ ALVIS couple.


Cheers
Bev

>Hi there fellow lister.
>Do you know that some of us who have been playing around wiith genealogy on
our computers assume an awful lot!!!
>I was asked to speak at a genealogy society meeting in a small NZ town
recently and decided that the use of computers in researching and making
contact with others with similar interests was the way I was going to go. It
amazed me how few even knew how to use batch numbers on IGI to search out
other family members from the same parish church. I took with me a
photocopied selection of some of my favourite sites and found that most were
unknown to them - consequently I'm going to share them with you as I know
some of you will find them of value.

>GENUKI UK & IRELAND http://www.genuki.org.uk/mindex.html
>A great wealth of information here as well as links to as much again. Great
lookups also offered in seperate counties. Also some online cencus and
parish records.
>NB there is also a search engine for this site:-
http://www.genuki.org.uk/search.html

>COMMONWEALTH GRAVES http://cwgc.org/
>Fascinating historical stuff here.

>WORLD CONNECT http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
>I was particularly fortunate in finding two branches of my family on this
and was able to make contact with two more distant relies.

>UK ARCHIVES www.a2a.pro.gov.uk
>Here you need to use all possible spelling of a surname eg Crump in the
1600s was spelt Cromp Crompe Crump Crumpe.
>
>1901 BRITISH CENCUS www.cencus.pro.gov.uk doesn't cost to find names but
to get details it does. Rather than print off the sheets I saved them to
disk to save time and printed them later when I wasn't paying for my time -
pays to get organized before you start paying and find the folk first so you
are getting best value for your dollar when downloading.

>As stated above, this site can be used in a variety of ways. Remember when
using batch numbers to change the last number as bigger parish records are
split up into time periods. The C can sometimes be replaced with a P, and by
using a M instead you find the marriages.
