Yes, that's the problem with IGI, Ginny, it doesn't cover deaths. Something about the Mormon religion. The BVRI discs are the same, there are no deaths. |

Also - I have learnt from experience - if you're looking for Catholic baptisms, you may not find them on the Family Search site. (Somebody on this site said apparently the Catholic churches wouldn't give the Mormon church access to their records.) |

You can also get baptisms from parish records if you know the area or church near where they were born. |
