I agree with the concept. On my own, I use the IGI as a tool to find real sources and remove (or subplant) the IGI with VR and census. but I will never finish all that is needed in my lifetime, so I am leaving a path for the future. The data worldwide is becoming easier to get photocopies in replacing transcripts and/or abstracts. I know I have over 2000 To Dos and 5 times as many pending informal searches. Using the Source pages does not mean I put any trust in the IGI info as accurate, but I find,especially the Royal and Gentry lines, are difficult to find some of the documents. It is dangerous to use the IGI blindly due to its level of accuracy and documentaion, so I always warn all I share it with, by showing the examples of individuals assigned over 35 unique Ancestral File Number, with a dozen different date/place combinations. But these people did exist, and one of the combos may be close to accurate. That is why the Detail Surety Level goes from 0 to 4. Rich in LA CA --- Wynthner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
