When there are links to the old IGI, they will need to be changed to point to Historical Records. The old extraction program extracted information from original records, and those all went into the IGI. Those[[Image:IGI.jpg|thumb|right|IGI.jpg]] indexes in the IGI were moved to collections in Historical Records and are now searchable there. They usually have generic titles such as "Ireland Births 15xx-19xx" or "Mexico Deaths and Burials 15xx-19xx".
