Hi John Under the section "Trees" are Ancestral File and Pedigree Resource File and are submitted genealogies They do not come up under a normal search and are not part of the submitted data to the IGI (but could be in both AF / PRF & IGI submitted data) Any information in the AF or PRF is at best 2nd hand information and needs thorough checking to ascertain if its valid or not I would only use it as a guide to prove your way through using the original records I do not know if there is a source for either the AF or the PRF listed anywhere as I don't use either, personally I would ask the LDS who are best placed to know and are very helpful Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 24/07/2012 17:22, John Warther wrote: > > Nivard, > > I delayed responding with my question because I think it applies to > this, and then I read Cara's later apology.
