Large Parish Register Booklet import adds hundreds of new resources for Bedfordshire

Dear OGIers,

It has been good to hear from a few of you this month saying how useful the database is in your research.  That is my goal, make research simpler.

I have found 44 Booklets published in the 1920s and 1930s for Bedfordshire Parish Registers on the Internet Archive (Archive.org) so now have each section linked in the Online Genealogical Index for easy use.

Many dedicated researchers spent years transcribing parish registers and publishing these in small quantities for interested parties.  Luckily, many are now available on archive.org for free.  

Archive.org has 6,750 links in the OGI.  These will take you to the exact page of an old book or magazine showing genealogical data. 

Today's import of 1,000 new data sets brings the current database total to 453,189.

Here are the details of today's upload:

• Ancestry - Hampshire Baptisms - 310 parishes
• Ancestry - Tyne and Wear Non-Conformist - 77 parishes
• Archive.org - Bedfordshire Parish Registers - 512 data sets
• Cornwall Online Parish Clerk Database - 44 new data sets
• GravestonePhotos.com - 3 new burial places
• Lancashire OPC - 3 new data sets
• OPC Dorset - 7 new data sets
• Shropshire BMD - 1 new data set
• Staffordshire Burials - 30 burial places
• TINSTAAFL Marriage Project - 11 new parishes
• TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 2 new parishes

I hope those of you with Hampshire and Bedfordshire ancestors will find new information with today's update.

Until the next one,

Tim Manners
