-Many years ago FamilySearch took a sample of Church records and included them in the International Genealogical Index(IGI). The IGI does not contain images, and has only a very small fraction of the records. The IGI is best used as a starting point before obtaining images for confirmation and further information.

+Many years ago FamilySearch took a sample of Church records and included them in the International Genealogical Index(IGI). Please note that much of the extracted IGI data is also now incorporated into the current FamilySearch search engine England databases. When you conduct a search in that search engine, you are also searching the extracted portion of the old IGI datafile. The IGI does not contain images, and has only a very small fraction of the records. The IGI is best used as a starting point before obtaining images for confirmation and further information.
