[LDS] IGI and extraction

[Kay King]

Something else to keep in mind about the IGI - 

for the portion of it that did come from the extraction program, you DEFINITELY want 
to look at the film of the original source document.  I work in extraction and so I 
KNOW there is much information in these documents that DOES NOT make it into the IGI.  
Only the information pertinent to providing temple ordinance work ends up there.  But 
I have repeatedly seen cards about christenings that list grandparents of the child 
(both sides), tell if the child was a twin, etc.  In the marriage records it often 
tells if the person was previously married and gives full parent and grandparent names 
of the couple.

So DON'T ignore going to that source - you MAY (not always) find a wealth of other 
information than what you see in the IGI.
