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. | 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.

Note: Searching these records is a time-consuming process. However, it may be worthwhile to view these records since they may be written in our ancestors’ handwriting, and since they may provide us with additional information that we would not have had otherwise. | Note: Searching these records is a time-consuming process.
