Hi Terri

Although my "family" were not on the IGI, I ordered films for Colchester, St
Nicholas, And for Chelmsford, and they were there. (By going to the Family
History Library Catalogue - to see what was filmed in that area).
So if you have only been looking on the IGI for surnames, and not checking
the Library Catalogue try that it was successful for me.
You may contact me off list if you wish.
