community indexed igi

The indexed data has been organized into the original collections from which it was transcribed and resides in the Historical Records system. To see a list of all collections available choose All Record Collections from the home screen. The Community Indexed search from this page searches ONLY the records that were part of the old IGI. Most of these collections have had many more records added to them. To do an exhaustive search for your ancestors you should choose to use the search form on the home screen.

For a short period of time duplication in the IGI was reduced by removing records from the indexed data when these records were submitted by the community. To do an exhaustive search for your ancestor you should choose to search the Community Contributed IGI and follow the process outlined on this page to determine if the record you find was part of an indexed collection.

I've hardly uttered a word, simply because I hated it and felt so very cross about them changing it.

It is an acquired taste - but once you get used to it, it's fantastic !

I'm really not sure what you mean, Ruskie. Like Pels, I've grown to really like the new site. One has to move with the times 

[Pels.]

And it's FREE !

Blimey, something for nothing and we still complain !  

[Ruskie]

True, tis free. However I would have liked to see the old site remain - for those of us who prefer to not move with the times. A huge amount of investment has gone into the 'refurb' - maybe they didn't need to go to so much trouble that's all.

I guess its like your favourite slippers they are so comfortable you want to keep wearing them ...but comes a time you have get a new pair and it takes a while to wear them in.
I feel like that with the new site, I was comfortable with the old search used it for years could find most things, but I do remember first time I used that I thought i would never find anything.............so guess eventually I will get used to it and we are lucky to have such a free resource I know.

I do agree with Pels. I much prefer it to the old site.
