Before 1984, the''IGI'' did not accommodate long names, people listed with only one name whose parents or grandparents were also listed with only one name, or estimated dates. Even though people with this type of information were not entered into the ''IGI,'' that information was often recorded manually on family group records. This special collection of family group records, called the ''Manual Processing Collections, 1949–1981'', has been microfilmed and stored in the Family History Library. Some of the names now appear on the ''IGI,'' but many do not.
