<br> | When using the International Genealogical Index, also known by the acronym 'IGI', one will often find a number associated with the entry. This is the 'batch number' indicating the source type of the record or records created in preparing the information for inclusion in the IGI, especially after the LDS ordinances were completed. | ||
Often it can lead to sources for additional information. Some information was gathered from extracting data from microfilms, while others were from LDS member submissions. The prefixes in the table below are found as part of the batch number you see with the IGI record for that individual. | |||
After 1991, LDS member submission information was not recorded, so all one has is the name and date information, the film containing the temple record shows little more than what you see on the record. <br> | |||
