Its purpose was two-fold. It contained both indexed/extracted church register name entries and user-submitted records. | ||

No original images were included. The records were arranged in batches and sometimes it is useful to know what batches correspond to a particular place. [http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/ Archersoftware], while a few years out of date, still provides batch information for the entire British Isles. | ||
To do a general search of old (IGI) database of submitted entries | In approximately 2004, FamilySearch database engineers migrated all of the IGI extracted data (from parish registers such as baptisms and marriages) into its main search page currently found on [https://www.familysearch.org/search/ FamilySearch.org], and left the remaining individual or "user submitted" records in the IGI intact, with only 430 million submitted name entries, on the "Genealogies" page on FamilySearch's website. Like all compiled sources such as family trees, published genealogies, and transcription records, caution is required as some (IGI) information may be incorrect and mostly incomplete. The user submitted records come from all over the world, with only a small portion relating to England. | ||
To do a general search of old (IGI) database of submitted entries see the following or use the general [https://www.familysearch.org/search/hr/search '''FamilySearch'''] search engine on the main search page. | |||
Here is a list of those stand-alone databases (each with its own individual search page). Most pages have not been updated in recent years. Use each with some caution: | |||
