Big update on 5th March

Dear Users of the OGI,

Happy to report a large import of new and updated datasets was completed on Friday, 5th March bringing the total on Online Genealogical Index to 407,033.  Remember, a dataset can include thousands of names and dates.

Here is a breakdown of the new/updated items:

Findmypast

Essex Baptisms - 659 new and updated parishes

Lincolnshire Monumental Inscriptions - 295 new and updated data sets

Northumberland: National Burial Index - 139 new and updated data sets

Wiltshire: National Burial Index - 12 new data sets

FreeReg - 222 new data sets

Lancashire Online Parish Clerk - 5 new data sets

TINSTAAFL Marriage Project - 22 new parishes

TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 3 new parishes

Gravestone Photos - 20 new cemeteries

As you can see, this was a large update and has also started my first FreeReg updates in 6 years.  I am now reviewing each county in FreeReg to update data on the server and add new information.  Expect some great new resources over the next few months as I work no this intensive update.  It demands the review of hundreds of changes for each county.

Thank you for your support and use of the site.  Glad to see that over 37,000 searches have been done since the site came online in 2014.

Until the next update,

Tim Manners
