The IGI

IGI stands for International Genealogical Index and it is a collection of records indexed by members of the Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints. The IGI contains of (mainly) two types of record:

• Records Indexed as part of the "Controlled Extraction" - The records are an Index of some of the information contained in some of the Parish Records from some Parishes.
• Records added by LDS members - These records are as a result of other people research and as such should be treated with caution.

The IGI is an Index and extracts certain parts of information to be found in a Parish Register. Use it as a pointer to where to search next. The IGI can be viewed via Microfiche (at a Family History Centre/Record Offices or online.
