The way I understand it is that the IGI are ALL Mormons--- the Ancestral File is for the rest of the world -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Johnson <pamelaaj@ix.netcom.com> To: GenTips-L@rootsweb.com <GenTips-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, June 16, 1998 8:49 PM Subject: RE: Newcomer >the IGI does not contain ALL people of the world, It is a file of those names submitted to the LDS Church to be included. True, there are millions of names there, but maybe no one ever submitted names for your family. It is a good index, but you could also try the Ancestral File at an LDS FHC which may contain names that the IGI does not. >Pam J > >---------- >From: MGulluscio@aol.com[SMTP:MGulluscio@aol.com] >Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 1998 5:36 PM >To: GenTips-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Newcomer > >I've tried looking for our name "Taverniti" on the Italy IGI at LDS center and >found none.
