Dear friends and cousins,

I just uploaded a little file that lists all the valid queries you can make when searching the Birth/Christening records in the IGI.

To see the file you have to log-in first and then select “Files” from the top menu. Next click “Reference Materials” and then select the folder “Searching the IGI”. To open the file click on “Using Wildcards”

I created a Truth Table for all the possible combinations of the first six fields in the IGI Search Form, which are used when searching Birth/Christening records. If somebody has the time and is willing I could prepare another Table for the all the possible combinations when searching Marriage records and then try each combination and fill the Results and Error columns.

Victor,

thank you so much for doing this. I hope that sometime soon I’ll have a
break in the action to try some new searches using wildcards. thanks
again,

I just updated the file about valid queries and the use of wildcards to search records in the IGI database. Now it includes the table of valid queries for Marriage searches also.

Thanks, Victor,

That will be a valuable resource to help us navigate the IGI.

Victor, Victor!

That table you developed works great for me! Remember that Jose Ysac Cerbantes born in Encarnacion de Diaz that I found only after going through thousands of Cervanteses in the IGI (and just for Jalisco too)? Well, by using your table, I not only found him by completing four fields (his first name, last name, and his mother's first and last name), and it brought up not only him, but another brother that was born to his mother in Lagos de Moreno. I can hardly wait to try it out on other brick walls I have.

Victor, the Family History Center should pay you for this table. What a breakthrough! At first I couldn't get my pea-brain to follow the table, so I highlighted all the blocks that had the "1"s for all the "YES" results, and I can just put my finger on the appropriate line and I know exactly which fields to complete. I didn't even have to use the wild card, but I will when I don't have enough information or when I suspect a surname has been butchered in the transcribing.

Bless you, bless you. Can you feel my abrazo across the miles?
