Re: The new IGI on FamilySearch.org

Hello Sue,

another way to see a search with just the Fathers name is -

New LDS website ht tps://www.familysearch.org/

Browse by location – select Europe

Scroll down to - select - Isle of Man Births and Baptisms

Select – ADVANCED search – fill in the following -

Last name – Skillicorn
Event – Birth
Place – Lonan
Year – 1720 – click on 20 year search
Relationship – Parents – John Skillicorn

Press search.

Results – the first 6 are the following – below the Brown Line are other Skillicorn entries – that you can browse through.
