The information was there due to research done through the extraction program. When looking at the source you can find out who or how the information was submitted to the IGI. I agree that some of the information contained is not correct and I use the IGI as a reference for when LDS ordinances were done and not so much as a resource for documentation or that the dates are 100% correct. I have seen the duplication done on many relatives that didn't need to be done. They could have spent their time doing research that was beyond what had already been done or correcting the wrong stuff that is out there. -----Original Message----- From: Oels' house [mailto:phibev@micron.net] Sent: Saturday, August 08, 1998 3:44 PM To: GEN-ROOTERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GEN-ROOTERS-L] IGI Vital Records????? Hi, Just a quick question to turtleusn@mci2000.com- what do you mean by the phrase "vital records found on the IGI" ? I guess you probably mean work that was done from an extraction program? The reason I ask is that I have found many errors in the IGI, too, since a great deal of what is found there reflects work done based on information submitted by guess who - us, with all our errors <G> I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if it comes from the IGI, we still need to check it out for ourselves.
