This site shows many of the batch numbers for extracted IGI entries (British Isles and North America only):

(I didn't realize it included Huguenot churches, too, until I did some spot checks
in response to your question.)

I don't know if all are from the Huguenot Society publications, though.
One I checked in Spitalfields seemed to be.

However, the Walloon church in Canterbury source says it is from the original
records. However, they misspelled Blanchan (as Blanchau) the same way it
is in the printed Hug. Soc. records. I see that the site does not show that
marriage records have been extracted there. I did one spot check and all
I looked at were user submitted. So, they may not have extracted the
marriage records, which _are_ in the printed publication.

One reason to want the extracted batch numbers is that you can then
do an IGI search of only those records -- and not have all the user-submitted
stuff cluttering up the results.

Regards,
Howard
