-
Note that not all parishes have been indexed for
the IGI, so not parishes all have batch numbers
-
To see if your parish has been indexed and has a
batch number in the IGI, look for that parish in the FHLC
-
Click on that and look for a number labelled batch
number or else a number with digits and hyphens
-
Add leading 0's and remove the hyphens so it
becomes a 6-digit number, i.e. C063181
-
Try that in the IGI and see if it's
the batch number for Hadleigh -- that one is
-
Also change the last digit and the letter and
try things like C063180, C063182, C063183, M063180, M063182, and M063183 --
some of these may also be batch numbers for Hadleigh, but not
necessarily
-
Some batch numbers in the FHLC are not
labelled batch numbers, nor do they have a C or M or other letter in front -
just experiment with those numbers
-
Can find lots of batch numbers for the IGI by
doing Keyword Searches in the FHLC for "batch St. Mary" or
"printout Hadleigh" and check the results
-
Can sometimes find films for batch numbers shown
in the IGI without the film number they were indexed from -- experiement and
see if you get the right batch by this process
