I was refused help by someone who shall remain nameless when enquiring how to make an extract when on the web site of the Mormons. " The Church of the Latter Day Jesus Christ" or something like that.
I was more or less forced to request help in the beginners section!
Well i'm not proud!! Can someone please help me?

That's disgraceful Rob! Can't think who you mean

Thanks again Jan,it seems you're the only one i can rely on for help on here!!
I understand what you say and with Massey you do get 4 children in a list but if you put John Williams and Sarah as father and mother and the year 1790 county worcester you get a larger list.
I do see 6 kids born Halesowen same parents of which i'm 99.9% sure they're all from the same family but how can i be sure?

can you put the link on the B C Section
show us where they are on Bcc and let's have a look

you would need to look at census and the actual bapts and other docs to see which ones
belong to your John and Sarah

put a post on with link in BC section see you in there

On the new site you can no first name. Add surname, parents names. And search
You can narrow down by adding in County, about birth years etc.

When I search on the old site, clicking on the batch number and just add parents names I get redirected to the new search.
