About 80 percent of the information in the International Genealogical Index is submitted by patrons. The other data is from various sources, including extraction. The IGI on FamilySearch Internet is updated regularly as temples transmit ordinance information to us. Some temples transmit information less frequently than others. From the above you can see that we cannot be more specific but do hope that this information goes towards answering your query. Hence be cautious patron submissions /IGI information should always be of as many sources as possible, check and double check. Take care,Linda and Tony
