IGI searches

[calswimmer]

Is it possible to search the IGI records by using one last naem for all records of Cornwall or must the towns be searched one by one,as I have been doing?

which kind of access to the IGI do you have?
You should be able to search across the entire county at one time for any particular name.

For access via www.familysearch.org, the most straightforward way is to search county-wide. Just select the 'Search' tab, then select 'IGI' and fill in the 'Region', 'Country' and 'County' boxes. I have also used Hugh Wallis's website to find the batch numbers to search indivdual parishes,
freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm, but I have read that this site may be a little out of date. Alternatively, this genuk link provides instructions on how to find these batch numbers via the LDS site: www.genuki.org.uk/big/FindingBatchNos.html.

Thanks, that worked great for me. I should have asked about this long ago. On to more fun searching...
