=== Legacy Collections === | |||
Some of the older Historical Records collections were assembled for publication in April 2010. These were compiled from indexing projects completed by volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other organizations. These projects were not designed to index all available records for a given location. Therefore, they are incomplete. Since publication in 2010 only a few records may have been added. ''As no additional records will be added, or any corrections made to the data, these are considered to be "Legacy" collections''. | |||
Please be aware of the following: | |||
*Data in the collection may have been subject to multiple post-indexing treatments which changed the originally indexed values or added data which was not indexed | |||
*The indexing project may have had indexing instructions significantly different from those currently used in projects for the same locality | |||
*As with all computer data files, some data may have become corrupted over time | |||
Some of the records in these collections may have been included in the former [[International Genealogical Index (IGI) - FamilySearch Historical Records|International Genealogical Index]] (IGI). As these collections are an index compiled from various sources, '''it is strongly recommended that you verify any information you find with original records'''. Due to privacy laws not all records may be displayed. | |||
