New FamilySearch Feature—IGI
https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/familysearchupdates-igi/
May 25, 2012 By Steve Anderson
All of the legacy IGI (International Genealogical Index) records will
be available at
FamilySearch.org. While many genealogists found the
IGI useful, its mix of community indexed sources and community
contributed records meant that not all of its data was equally
reliable. This problem has been resolved by creating two IGI
collections, both searchable from the IGI collection page:
Community Indexed IGI: This collection consists of sources that were
indexed by the genealogical community from collections of vital and
Church records. They are considered an excellent source of primary
genealogical information. Unlike the old IGI, which put these sources
all in one collection, on the new site each record has been organized
into their respective collections (ex. England, Births and
Christenings, 1538-1975).
Community Contributed IGI: This collection consists of personal family
information submitted by individuals to the LDS Church. Some of these
are source-like. But the collection they were extracted from is no
longer known. Many represent conclusions of the submitter. The quality
of this information varies. Duplicate entries, conclusions from
secondary sources, and inconsistent information are common. Always
verify contributed entries against sources of primary information.
