Thats good news Julie.

For anyone not aware of Hughs site:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm

Which is for:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as the LDS) has made the International Genealogical Index (the "IGI") available on the internet at http://www.familysearch.org and provided a very effective searching capability. However, it is not always easy to locate your ancestors (even if they are there in the IGI) using the search mechanisms provided at that site. This is because a search by last name only is not permitted unless you search within a single batch of records at a time or, at minimum, across the entire country (not even a single county let alone a town).

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

Does this all still work?

I gave it a go, but kept getting...

"error: Page not found"

We are sorry, but the page you requested is no longer available or cannot be found. If you arrived here from a bookmark, please delete your bookmark.

Thank you for using FamilySearch

The site does not work as it used to because some links have been broken. Still can be of use though.

I think the rights to it, were bought out by Ancestry, but not 100% sure.

One of the initial problems was that the links to the IGI batchs were broken by FamilySearch moving the location of the extracted batches.
