If you have retained some records for printing, two buttons «Print» and «Clear the buffer» will become available. «Print» button - Prepares a PDF file containing all retained records. The records are grouped by type (Baptisms, Marriages, Burials, Parishes), each group printed alphabetically. Once completed, the file is downloaded to your computer and the buffer is cleared of retained records. If you have a PFD file viewer installed on your computer, the document will be opened and ready to be viewed, printed or saved. If not, you could use the link below to download Adobe Reader. «Clear the buffer» button - Allows removing all records from the retained records buffer without printing them. You can then start assembling a new selection of records.
