Hi Peter I think John is referring to the IGI itself not old familysearch in general When new familysearch came into being the IGI was not going to be part of it, but it has been reintroduced as a separate database As I said previously, select new familysearch and then All Record Collections, when the list has loaded enter IGI in the search box and it will come up It is presently only the extracted information but later will have Patron submissions Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > 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.

Nivard, Because I know of no icon that will take you direct to the IGI, I read it the other way. But no matter. I wanted to ask about two other points. I tried your suggestion of clicking on All Record Collections but nothing seemed to load. It seems to work if I select Central Europe or a specific region. Any suggestions? I also note the "Go to Old Site" button seems to have re-appeared. Wasn't this taken away? Have they bowed to all the critics? Peter

Hi again My bookmark https://www.familysearch.org/ Takes me to the landing page of new familysearch If you then scroll down a little and select "All Record Collections" (just under the "Browse by Location") On the next page there will be a search box top left, you need to wait a few seconds for the page to load the list of databases After the list has loaded you will notice the words "Collection name" will appear in the search box in light grey, after a second or two it will turn to black and then you can enter the letters IGI and the International Genealogical Index database will pop up https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/igi And yes they have reintroduced the "go to previous site" again, how long for is anyones guess, so as I have said a few times now, its best to get used to the new site as thats what we will have to contend with sooner or later Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Nivard, > > Because I know of no icon that will take you direct to the IGI, I read > it the other way.
