I have just received news of a new search facility being implemented at the Online Parish Clerk site.
It is currently in Beta Test Mode but should prove extremely useful.
Here is what I have received:-
Dear Cornwall researchers,
The OPC database (otherwise known as C-PROP) continues to grow and now
contains over 1.1 million Cornwall parish records (see coverage at
http://www..cornwall-opc-database.org/coverage.php ). We have recently been
developing a new search facility to add to the existing searches and it is
now in 'beta' test - which means that it may go wrong and if it does, please
let me know!!
We call it the 'person search' as it looks across the baptisms,
non-conformist baptisms, banns, marriages and burials tables for anyone
mentioned e.g. the person being baptised or their mother/father, the person
getting married or their father or one of the witnesses etc.
If you want to give it a try the link to the search is
www.cornwall-opc-database.org/personsearchdb.php
If you want to report any problems with the search then please do not reply
to this list but contact me directly via the link to my email address at the
bottom of each C-PROP page.
Regards,
Bill
So give it a try and if there are any problems then simply follow the instructions above.
Remember that the OPCs are all volunteers so give them plenty of support and help them make a great research tool even better.
If you find any errors in the system let them know via the 'Error Reporting facility' and you will have prompt response.
And I would personally like to congratulate them and thank them for the help and support I have received so far.
