Lots of new records for Lancashire, Lincolnshire and Somerset

Dear fans of the Online Genealogical Index,

Another update of 190 data sets today including parish registers, memorial inscriptions and gravestone photos.  This brings the total number of data sets on the site to 389,898.

Here is a summary of today's new additions:

Berkshire
Parish Registers on Genuki.org.uk (7 sets)

Devon
Memorial Inscriptions found on a "dead" website using web.archive.org (2 sets)

Lancashire
Parish Register transcriptions from lan-opc.org.uk (74 sets)

Lincolnshire
New Parish Record additions by Findmypast (50 sets)

Somerset
Parish Register Transcriptions on Genuki.org.uk (84 sets)



There are a few parish register and memorial inscription additions for Durham, Gloucestershire, Kent, Norfolk, Nottinghamshire, Rutland and Suffolk.

Ancestry recently updated their URLs for all collections in the catalog.  I have discovered 16 collections are now unusable (missing or broken) and have reported this to Ancestry this week.  If you would like to see which collections are missing, here is a list:

  1. Bedfordshire, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  2. Berkshire, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  3. Devon, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  4. Durham, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  5. Kent, England, Extracted Parish Records
  6. Lancashire, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  7. London Churches, Christening and Baptismal Records
  8. London Churches, Burials and Deaths Records
  9. Norfolk, England, Extracted Parish Records
  10. Somerset, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  11. Suffolk, England, Selected Church of England Parish Registers, 1558-1778
  12. Suffolk, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
  13. Surrey, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records

  15. Wiltshire, England, Selected Church of England Parish Registers, 1591-1812
  16. Wiltshire, England, Extracted Church of England Parish Records
I have left these in the OGI for now hoping the problem will be fixed soon.  

I appreciate all those reading the blog and using the site.  I know it is saving you all time in your research and, hopefully, guiding you to little-known sources.  You are welcome to leave comments on the blog. I love hearing from those using the site.

Please help by passing the word around to others engaged in family history research!
