My great grandfather was born about 1815 at Aldenham Hertfordshire but I know nothing of any brothers, sisters, parents etc - where I can find out any information. Thanks in anticipation. Bob

Unfortunately I could not find him - is there any other way to find his sisters and brothers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Bob

Hi NatSav In the info you provided you said that it appears all the christenings are on Family Search and there are a series of letters and numbers - can I ask what they mean? Kind regards Bob

The IGI searches 2 kinds of records - user contributed, often by Mormon members (these are of variable quality), and extracted.

The #s are batch #s, and entering one will restrict the search to extracted records - typically from one register - e.g., here a Baptismal register from Aldenham covering 1559-1812, say. The m's are marr registers - the e's are miscellaneous (but mostly marrs). Sometimes they're not old parish registers, but bishop's transcripts (the church's back-up copy). Click on the source # and drill down and you'll see what they are and where they were gotten.

Start at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp
Note you can find a nearby FHC in the centre column if you ever wanted to rent a film.
In the menu bar - Search Records - Advanced Search (Record Search Pilot & Library Catalog are also useful).
Then pick the IGI in the left margin, and start searching.
