I do not know if you are aware that not all of the I G I files are "Member" submitted. It is very true that much of the information there is, but, a lot of it comes from what is know as the extraction program. This extraction program is volunteer members of the church in their individual localities, and/or films of actual records microfilmed in whatever record repository, such as a County Court, Where ever, What ever State, USA or other Countries around the world, carefully and painstakingly read, rechecked and submitted to the I G I. More of this type record is filtering into the I G I than the earlier Member records. It is slow painstaking work just as any research is. It is also difficult at times to know the difference between the two. Lovetra HAMRICK,DANIEL wrote: > Dear Tressie: > You and Diogenes!
