• Searching Family Search

    From Geoff@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 1 12:20:34 2021
    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions please?
    Family Search has all the images for the Bishop's Transcripts of Littleport
    in Cambridgeshire. They can be seen here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-892X-H3Z6?cc=1465708&cat=976859.

    I want to be able to extract all the cases (B M & D) of one particular surname. As there are 872 pages associated with this file I am trying to find an easy way of doing this.
    I don't mind what format the result appears in but it needs to contain all
    the relevant information for each person. I can't see anyway of doing it using any of Family Search's
    search options. I also can't see any other site that I could extract
    the information from.
    Any ideas please.

    Geoff.

    From the main menu choose Search>Records and at the bottom of the page
    choose More Options. Enter the name and date and at the bottom of the
    page choose Image Group Number (DGS) or Film Number and enter the film
    number, which is 004034506. (You can see this on the page you
    referenced above.)

    Even with Show Exact Search selected, this does seem to throw up results
    from other collections besides the BTs, but it's the best I can come up
    with.

    Thank you for the suggestion, this certainly goes a long way to help. I
    now trying to find a way to isolate the "non-BTs".
    Unfortunately Family Search "Search" page has just gone down with a 404 error. I'll wait till it comes back up again.
