Biggest update of the year!

Dear fans of OGI,

Today I was able to upload the largest update for a LONG time.  4,922 new record sets!

Here is the breakdown by website name.

Sheffield Indexers (16 new record sets)

Gravestone Photos (25 new record sets)

Tinstaafl Norfolk Baptisms (2 new parishes)

Tinstaafl Marriage Index (92 new parishes covering Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Warwickshire and Worcestershire)

Ancestry
Essex Parish Registers (1,848 record sets)
Norfolk Bishop's Transcripts (890 parishes)
Norfolk Archdeacon's Transcripts (656 parishes)

Findmypast
Great London Burial Indes (66 new parishes)
Cardiganshire Parish Records (46 new record sets)

FamilySearch
Herefordshire Bishop's Transcripts (374 parishes)
Norfolk Bishop's Transcripts (890 parishes)

Durham Records Online (6 new parish record sets)

An additional few record sets were found for Lancashire Civil Registration and Dorset Memorial Inscriptions.

I was disappointed to see the new FamilySearch Herefordshire collection has been indexed WITHOUT a place name.  You can only search by name then look at the linked image to see if it your ancestor.  I was able to find the master list of the coverage of this collection so you will know which parishes are included.  (Unique to ogindex.org)

The Ancestry Essex collections added last week also had no coverage table so I contacted the Essex Record Office and they guided me to their content given to Ancestry so I could add a breakdown of parishes to the OGI!  (No one else has that info!)

We are still trying to fix the problem with Wales and the Isle of Man.  The hosting company has added some additional security which has broken the drop-down list.  

If you want to search for a place in Wales, you can use this text as the address and add the name of the place to the end:  https://ogindex.org/search?country=Wales&town=

For the Isle of Man, use this text (add the place name at the end and paste it into your address bar):  https://ogindex.org/search?country=Isle+of+Man&town=

I hope we can find a solution very soon.  Thanks for your continue patience.

Best wishes for a wonderful summer ahead.  I am sure there will be new updates soon.

Kind regards,
