 Howell MI  FHC -Understanding the IGI
Since its inception in 1969, the International Genealogical Index (IGI) has been a marvelous finding tool — not a source in itself, but, as its name indicates, an index to records from all over the world.
The latter two periods are fully indexed in the present IGI, and church members have nearly finished adding in names from the first two periods.
Since it is an index to temple work, and since many members of the church do not (or in the past could not) check to see whether work has been done, many temple ordinances are unnecessarily repeated.
