In the IGI and its various portions there is a lot of duplication of effort (planned). The AFN is the LDS solution to clean it up. They assigned each number to one or more than one version of the same person. It was/is suppose to be a unique number assigned to a person with exactly one number. It is better but still has duplication. The task is just TOO big. Even then biggest computer is overwhelmed. Some of it also ties in to other (church) needs. Originally we were to be able to search on the AFN but if it is available anywhere, it might be Salt Lak City only. Rich
