Merged will transcripts available

Hi Donna,

Although this was the original intention, not all the new wills are in italics on the "Main Wills Index". If you start off on the home page: lawsonsiom.freevar.com/ you will see the list of Recently Transcribed Wills there, including 19 added yesterday.
Also on the home page are buttons to show the wills which have been submitted since Brian's death, listed 3-monthly from October until June, most of which (but not all) have been merged into Brian's original wills database on the Main Wills Index, but not all are in italics.
So all the transcripts on the iomfhs wills site should also appear on lawsonsiom.freevar.com/wills/_will_index.html so that all transcribed wills can be seen together, up to the date the new ones have been added.

Also please see the button for Marriage Contracts. This was Brian's last database, which he was working on at the time of his death, but not then made public on the iomfhs website. Since then it has increased in size to about 70 contracts, which is great when it can be so difficult to access these from overseas (only held in MM library, and not filmed).
