If we go back far enough in Island genealogy, the same ancestors belong to the ''Maori, Hawaiian, French Polynesian, Tongan, Samoan, and other Island peoples''. These same ancient ancestors’ names could be pronounced and spelled differently in ''Maori, Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian, Rarotongan'', or other languages, even though they are the same person. We do not need to do the temple work for the ancient Island royalty as it has already been done numerous times. | If we go back far enough in Island genealogy, the same ancestors belong to the ''Maori, Hawaiian, French Polynesian, Tongan, Samoan, and other Island peoples''.

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,'' many had their temple ordinances performed, and that information was 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. | 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.

The microfilm is located in the ''US/Canada film area, ''with the call numbers going from '''1553385 to 1553391 (7 rolls)'''. These microfilms list people by the island they are from and then alphabetically by surname, more or less. There is no overall index, so we may need to browse through all of the films. | The microfilm is located in the ''US/Canada film area, ''with the call numbers going from '''1553385 to 1553391 (7 rolls)'''.

When we put our PAF diskette into TempleReady, we can select the ''Update Records ''option. The computer program will add to our files the ordinance information that matches the names and dates for ancestors on our records. We can get better results by selecting families rather than individuals.<br> | When we put our PAF diskette into TempleReady, we can select the ''Update Records ''option.
