Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 521 Send Message	I recently googled 'hollowell' and it came up with a link to Ancestry that put me on the pages for Hollowell parish, which meant I could look at the whole book. Is there some way from within Ancestry to search the areas? I've tried just putting in the parish as a key word but obviously doing something wrong. Thanks Karen
