Grenada IGI Batch Numbers: Difference between revisions

Since 1974, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been extracting records of births/baptisms and marriages from filmed records in its collection for Grenada. Most of these extracted records are indexed by name in the '''International Genealogical Index (IGI)''' available on [https://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org]. Every group of extracted records has been assigned a '''batch number'''. If you know the '''batch number''' of an extracted film for a parish you are interested in (perhaps obtained from a record previously found indexed on FamilySearch.org), you can do a search on [https://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org] for just that batch number and the results will be ALL of the extracted names from that record, in alphabetical order. This is a great aid to researchers for locating family members and other associated relatives.

FamilySearch has organised the records in the IGI into 'batches'. Batches can sometimes contain records from more than one town, parish, or church.  

What follows is an outline on records on each FS Library microfilm for Grenada by locality and by batch number. Ric Greaves has done much of the work to organized the batch numbers for each parish in Grenada, so that you can easily see which batches and time periods are available for the area you are researching. A basic attempts has also been made to included batches that are not, as yet, on the ''FamilySearch'' website.  

Note: the range of batch and film numbers available to search online for Grenada are currently small and you will not be able to find much online compared to viewing the films directly at a FSC.  

After 1991, Church 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 IGI entry for the individual.  

| The '''GS Film Number''' is located at the FamilySearch Library that was the original source. The films can be circulated to FamilySearch Centers for viewing. <br>
