Two more May updates

Dear Users of the OGI,

There were two more updates uploaded in May so I want to show the content here to track what has been done.  It may be useful for you to see which sites and counties have new information.  Findmypast updated their Carmarthenshire collection which has now been completely refreshed in the OGI database.

  • TINSTAAFL Marriages - 12 new parishes
  • TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 2 new parish
  • Findmypast Carmarthenshire Baptisms - 92 new and updated data sets
  • Findmypast Carmarthenshire Marriages and Banns - 111 new and updated data sets
  • Findmypast Carmarthenshire Burials - 83 new and updated
  • Findmypast Middlesex Baptisms - 3 new parishes
  • Findmypast Suffolk Early Burials Index - 34 updated parishes
  • FamilySearch - 8 new parish registers and memorial inscriptions
  • FamilySearch, IGI Batches - 613 updates
  • Gravestone Photos - 5 new cemeteries
Current total on the site is 411,256

The August issue of Family Tree Magazine will have a two page article about the Online Genealogical Index.  It will go on sale the last week of June.  I am very grateful for their interest in the site and to spread the word.  Glad to see that my pet project started on a spreadsheet in 2014 is now regularly used by thousands.

Thanks again to those sharing donations towards running costs.  Really appreciate every penny.

Wishing you a warm June,

Tim Manners
