I'm not an LDS churchmember but do volunteer in a Family History Center. A FHC director informed me of the problem they had in constructing the IGI with dates of the proclamation of the Banns written in the Old Parish Records. Since there was no place in the software to put the dates for BANNS, it was decided they would have to be input as MARRIAGES. You'll not find BANNS dates and MARRIAGE dates like you find Births and Baptisms. Perhaps its happened with Patron Submissions, but I've not yet seen a Banns entry in the IGI. The volunteers had no choice but to do as they were instructed. It sure has caused a lot of researching problems over the years. Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA =======================
