Thank you Jenny,

I did as you suggested and found additional information about the particular 
IGI film, however, I did experience a potential problem that some may wish to 
be aware of.

Instead of searching on a name, I clicked on the IGI Records to search, and 
entered the Batch Number and Sheet Number which found the particular record 
that I was looking for, however, when entering the Batch Number, Sheet Number, 
and entering the Source Call Number into the Film Number field the results were 
"No Items Found."

Apparently the Sheet Number and Serial Number are the same, because I found a 
screen that contained a field for "Serial/Sheet Number." The Legacy 
SourceWriter template does ask for a Reference Number, however, I haven't found 
a correlation between Serial/Sheet Number and Reference Number.

The Source Call No is the Film No.  If you click through from the IGI
Source No to the Film Notes you can get the Title of the Film and the Item
No when there is one.

(I am really peeved that the new FamilySearch site has no direct link from
film number to title of film and often no item number.  Sometimes just a
placename is given and one finds that the film referred to has records for
several churches, so one doesn't even know which at Church the event took
place.  I have complained!)
