As for baptism dates and Banns dates, we realize that these dates are not interchangeable for birth dates or marriage dates and that Bann dates do not even indicate for certain that a marriage took place. We do indicate when the birth date is an estimation and we have made the Bann date searchable through the same tool as marriage dates merely for simplicities sake.

As with all new features, or changes, things are a work in progress and we appreciate hearing your feedback and concerns so we can work to make the site better and better.

Why on earth didn’t the Tech guys think this one through when they built the transcribing form???? Not all baptisms give the date of birth, and not all births were followed in short order by a baptism!

The novice researcher wouldn’t think to trawl through all the available records which matched parent name criteria, especially if the ** apparent ** dob is a number of years after the actual dob.

Other problems exist with London Births, Baptisms, Banns, Marriages, Death and Burials records where Baptism dates are treated as Birth dates, Banns dates are treated as Marriage dates and Burial dates are treated as Death dates.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your question, we wanted to make sure we had accurate information before we posted. At this time we don’t have any concrete plans to add Welsh non-conformist records but we do hope to be able to bring our customers more non-conformist records from all over the UK moving forward. Thanks for your question!

What about us provincials ?

Will you be adding any Welsh Parish or Non Conformist Registers any time in the near future. I am especially interseted in North Wales.

Thanks

Haydn
