It's here!!!! Finally!!! ----- 1837-1865 Searchable on Surname Range + Images

Searching the period 1837 -1865 & 1921 - 1983 For the period 1837 -1865 & 1921 to 1983 the images are partially transcribed on surname and forename range. ie the first surname and first forename and the last surname and last forename on the images. Please note that this period is not fully transcribed and therefore not all features are available. For example Districts, Mother's Maiden Name, Spouse's Maiden Name, Date of Birth and Age at Death are not available. However this does allow the user to search for their family relatives and the database will locate all those images where the surname may appear. It will usually display one page per quarter per year. The user will then have to view the image to see whether their family relative appears on those particular pages. There is no charge for the search results page for the period 1837 -1865 & 1921-1983 although there is a small charge for viewing the images. Therefore if one were to search for the Birth of the Surname: Murray, Forename: John for the year 1921. The results would be displayed as shown on the image. *** doesn't seem to be working though?

Woo hoo, so why didnt they mail me? Oh, just read your message, are you sure this isnt what it has been for a long time - I shall have to have a go.

I'm sure it wasn't there yesterday? *** seems to be just births that isn't working ;(

They wont get a Crystal English Award for that explanation will they!

The new part (as far as I know) is the 1837-1866 bit. Previously Family Rellies had nothing for this section. Now they have a system which is the same as their 1920 onwards part and generally works the same as 1837online. The best part about FR is that the program automatically archives every result you get, so you should never have to pay twice for something because you forgot to write it down the first time!!! (not that this has ever happened to me of course!!) Merry

I thought it was going to be fully searchable, or am I imagining that?

Glumps, yes I thought so too, but no its back to the old search every rotten image stage, what a shame. I was hoping for the same format they have on the 1866-1920. Oh well.

I wonder if they intend to fully transcribe the other years apart from 1866-1920. Anyone know? Margaret

not anymore Margaret lol I thought they were doing 1837-1865, but it hasn't happened yet.
