Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Confusing IGI

Many thanks for your reply and all of the information re the reliability of early records. It was only when I noticed that my copies of the Parish Records did not match with the IGI - when we finally joined the computer age - that I ever really gave much thought to the records on the IGI . Many new researchers seem to put such faith in everything that the computer tells them re family records when researching a family history - the IGI being a site well known to everyone . Having said that the computer has enabled my research to travel all over the world and contact many descendants that I would never have had the opportunity of knowing. Contact with Cemeteries in Australia , America and Canada is also a part of the research that would not have been possible without the computer and its records. So I do hope that all the information written here will be of some help to all new researchers when looking at the IGI
