On a couple of occasions, I've contacted the submitters of the data and told them to correct it. Those were biggie errors where someone had abstracted my family data and claimed they were related. And, of course they weren't related at all. If someone does find an ancestor on the IGI, it is best to order in the microfilm and check it out for accuracy. On the other hand, the IGI is useful as it usually gets you to the village or town where these people lived. On other hand, it can mislead you. The IGI is not a primary source.
