The IGI is an Index. It does not contain any records at all. If you have an entry on the IGI you need to check the film and that will give you the record. There may be additional information on the source. This is what the IGI Help file says: Find the source and check the original record. Information in the International Genealogical Index comes from many different sources. To verify the accuracy of the information or to see if the original source contains more information, you may want to check the source if it is listed. To do this: 1. Click on one of the individual's names. 2. Read the Messages section on the IGI record. It contains information about the source. 3. Read the Sources section on the IGI record. It may list either the batch or microfilm number where the information came from. 4. If a film number is listed, click it to go to the Family History Library Catalog and find the film you will need to order. 5. Print the film notes or write down the film number. 6. Go to a family history center and order a copy of the record. 7. Compare the information on the original record to the information on the IGI record. You may have to pay a small fee to order a copy.
