Hi List What do list members think of the new IGI. I clicked onto an Icon I have on the desk to access the IGI and up popped the new sight. I must say I am not impressed. I am all for updated things from time to time, but I think this a step too far. Thanks Regards John John Lindley www.lindleyancestry.co.uk http://lindleyancestry.com
Hi John Considering that the LDS were not going to have access to the IGI once the old site is closed I think we should count ourselves fortunate still to have access to it For those who have not found it yet, look under all record collections on new familysearch, when the list is loaded enter IGI in the search box Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi List > > What do list members think of the new IGI.

How long is it since you last went on the site John? Looks just the same to me. Lancelot Middlesbrough
John, Considering it's nearly two years since the site changed, you haven't done much recent research. You're reaction was not uncommon, but all the pros and cons were put to bed many months ago. This is the site we now have. All the old data fields are really still there. But you have to click on an event or relationship box to open them up. For example, for a birth, click on the Birth event box to input location and date range and click on Parent box to add them if known. Once you familiarise yourself with how to use it, you won't find much different. Some of the new features linking to images of original source records are quite good. Peter
