    3. Just as a matter of clarification, the IGI patron submissions and the extracted data have never been removed from the Family Search website, but "New Family Search" is as good as gone, in the last stages of being phased out and is in a "read-only" condition. Even that will soon be gone, with a complete shutdown of that site, as found in the following announcement: NEW.FAMILYSEARCH.ORG WILL BE TURNED OFF ON FEBRUARY 1, 2015 The next step to fully implement FamilySearch Family Tree on FamilySearch.org is to disable the ability for users to login to and access new.FamilySearch.org. This milestone is planned to occur on February 1, 2015. On February 1, all public APIs (application programming interfaces) will be turned off, as will be the ability to access the program. This step is necessary as we enter the final phase, which is to transfer and synchronize all of the remaining data from new.FamilySearch.org to FamilySearch Family Tree. It is anticipated that this final phase of data testing, transfer, and retesting will require a year to complete. Once this phase is completed in early 2016, new.FamilySearch.org will be completely shut down. It is important to note that many highly desired features of FamilySearch Family Tree cannot begin to be developed until new.FamilySearch.org has reached the final milestone and is completely shut-off. Once that has happened, work can begin on features such as: Merging of gateway ancestors and other people with large records. Highlighting and fixing other data eccentricities, such as when a person appears to have been married before birth, a child older than a parent, a child who is the spouse of parent or grandparent, and so on. The ability for users to change the gender of an ancestor. The ability to see a spouse's ancestral line by default. The patron submissions as well as the extracted data have always been and continue to be included and accessible, but one has to know where to find them. They can be accessed at the following URL: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/igi You will see two categories to be searched, (1) Community Contributed IGI (Personal family information submitted to the LDS Church) (these are the patron submissions), and (2) Community Indexed IGI (Vital and church records from the early 1500s to 1885), the indexed (extracted) records, nearly all of which are baptisms (christenings) and marriages. So the marriages that were extracted data and found in the IGI are still found there, as well as the baptisms. One can search by name, date, place, and/or batch numbers using the IGI, and you can search either patron submitted or extracted data, or both. The IGI is not being updated (and has not been added to for some time), but Family Search has expressed a commitment to keep all the information in the IGI on the Family Search website and to keep it available and searchable. All new data is going directly into Family Search Family Tree, with older data migrated to Family Tree. There are redundant ways to find much of the information, but hopefully this short summary will be helpful to those trying to find record data on Family Search.
