I can tell you that the information on the IGI is some times put on there with out the researchers details being given.Or permission asked.I past on my family records to a distant cousin in the States we share a distant ggg grandfather. The next thing I find is that all my mother's family in on there. When I ask if she had submitted it ( She is a member of the Church)She told me no it must have been her researcher. I believe that they just submit their pedigree "Steve" daphne.guthrie wrote: > Im not sure if you are talking about the IGI microfiche indexes or IGI > on the net.
