John, Brad,
Changing P or C to M is not universally effective in finding
marriage records.

I'd recommend Hugh Wallis site,
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm

For both some explanations and IGI batch numbers for all transcripts in
North America and the British Islands.

Best,
Ken
