FMP Lincolnshire records are a mess
I just don't understand how FMP messed up so much with the Lincolnshire records. They should have just put the registers online in the order the pages appear. But no. Every parish I have looked at has issues.
Upton cum Kexby Parish:Upton Cum Kexby Event:Baptisms & Burials Year range:1583-1679 The drop-down menu has: Baptisms 1584-1586 Baptisms and burials 1583-1679 Baptisms and marriages 1582-1669 Baptisms, burials and marriages 1564-1753 Baptisms, marriages and burials 1597-1705 Burials 1670-1670 Burials and marriages 1584-1669 Burials, baptisms and marriages 1597-1597 Burials, marriages and baptisms 1654-1655 Marriages 1755-1836 Marriages and baptisms 1579-1579 Marriages, baptisms and burials 1566-1748 If you click on on of those you are presented with a series of images, or, in some cases, just one image or a couple of images. If you have a baptism in 1600, for example, it's not clear which menu you should click on. There appear to be 6 options (if I'm counting correctly!) Here is an example: Baptisms and burials 1583-1679 image 1 page 37 of the register. Can't spot a year but in late 1500s image 2 1592 burials 1593 baptisms image 4 1596 burials 1597 baptisms image 5 1663 baptisms 1664 christenings (NOTE THE JUMP FROM 1597 to 1663) image 6 1678 burials 1679 christenings no image no. 7!! image 8 1763 baptisms and burials (another big jump) image 9 1766 burials 1767 baptisms image 10 1768 baptisms and burials 1769 baptisms image 11 1769 burials 1770 baptisms and burials and on it goes! For each parish there are lots of images - locating the one you want is like hunting for a needle in a haystack. Other parishes have the same issues.
