How to find an Extracted Batch

Ellen Zaifnejad

It used to be that you could go to FamilySearch, choose Search Records, then More Options, and enter a batch number and it would return the whole entire list of what was extracted, or indexed.

Now I do this and it finds nothing.

Is there a new way to find a batch?

I am interested in Fågeltofta parish, Kristianstad, Sweden --- batch 431591.

@Ellen Zaifnejad I just tried searching Records on Aine's batch number C59552-1 and it came straight back with 28,579 records, so then I tried your batch number with a C on the front, so C431591, and got 12,522 results which look like the ones you are after - I think the C must have been the missing bit.

It was @Áine Ní Donnghaile who produced the clue!

How to find an Extracted Batch

 I noticed that you say you have lost part of an indexed batch. Have you tried the following, https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-is-my-batches-in-indexing from here you can keep a track of your indexing. It is important to save your batch periodically to avoid losing your work. Should your batch expire it will no longer be available. But until then you will find it and your progress in “my batches”

Don’t worry if you can’t complete it. The important thing is it will be done.

Please continue your efforts. They are very much appreciated.

I hope this is of assistance to you.

@braveheart1 Ellen is not referring to indexing she is currently doing but historical record groups.

@Ellen Zaifnejad you need to open the document information on any indexed record to see the Indexing Batch.

It's a little down arrow to the right of "Document Information." Click on that, and the info will display.

For example, this 1860 baptism of my great grandmother has a batch number in the document information:

Thank you for your time.

I do not have the record of an ancestor that includes a batch number. I am trying to go the other way: I have a batch number and I want to see the whole list of extracted names--All the children born in that parish for that time period, that were extracted as part of that batch. In this case, batch 431591 is Fågeltofta parish in Sweden, christenings, from 1709 to 1834.

Which, I used to be able to do by doing this:

Go to FamilySearch, choose Search Records, then More Options, and enter a batch number in the batch number field and it would return the whole entire list of what was extracted, for that project.

But now that process returns no hits.

Again, thank you in advance.
