If anyone can find the Surrey baptisms, please can they tell me.

How odd, Terri. I don't have a problem so perhaps it is your browser.

These are the baptisms from 1812.

I just put "Surrey baptisms" in the Card catalogue keyword search and there they were. This is how I normally find them....

Terri · #5 06-08-17, 17:33

LOL! This is bonkers. I was only looking at them an hour ago and now ........ it's all gone mad! I've refreshed, closed the site and opened it again, still I have the World and His Wife on the Surrey page. Thanks for finding them for me anyway. x

Surrey parish records are coming up for me as Surrey too - I think it must be your computer

I got the same as Terri when I checked, Julie, so it's not just her computer. I would normally go via the Card Catalogue instead though.

Thank goodness for that, thought I was going mad there. I hope this is a case of Ancestry "going wrong", and not a "fix what wasn't broken" and in doing so has created total destruction!

They are working OK for me. I almost never use the Card Catalogue though, I would just pick them out of the results list.

It's not just Surrey, London is the same - contains everything from
Arkansas to Washington DC, including a few really curved balls, such as: Acerra, Napoli, Italy, Comune Civil Registration Records, 1809-1929 (in Italian) 53,635
