I hope they add to Somerset. There still seem to be quite a few parishes missing.

Not definitively. There was a discussion about this online a couple of years ago, but I don't remember where. From memory, the county archivist and the diocesan archivist are one and the same person and he objected to the LDS filming some PRs without permission. I can't vouch for the truth in that though.

Edit: Found it on Rootschat and there are some interesting new comments.....http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=748263.0

Thanks, Rick, that's interesting.

I won't get too excited yet.

It's Nottinghamshire this week, and they have added more records to their Nottinghamshire indexes, no images. Looks as though they have added some of the parishes which I need for my tree.

I've just been having a look, and found some useful entries, but I wish they'd add the images.

Mary, if you PM me with the details I can look them up at the archives for you. Though you still wouldn't get to see the images yourself, of course.

That's very kind of you; I will ask you to do one look-up when you have time, because I suspect the name may have been mistranscribed, but it isn't urgent. FMP have two different versions; one taken from the BTs and one from what appears to be a marriage index.

Out of interest, is there an index of pre-1858 Notts wills and admons at the archive?

PM me the details and I'll look it up next time I go.

Yes, they have indexes of wills - and they have the actual wills on microfiche, apart from the ones which are held at the Borthwick institute. I assume they have admons too but I don't think I've looked at one there. If you want a will or admon looked up, give me the details and I'll do that too.
