Hmmm. It's just that I found a family on the IGI today. I have the VRI2 at home but they weren't on there. |

Sorry to hear that. The two things are compiled from the same info but I presume mistakes can happen. Best of luck Keith |

The IGI is the International Genealogical Index and the VRI is Vital Records Index and you do not always get the same records on both. If you have found something on the IGI and you have Gro references you can send for certificates. Mary |

I thought the records on the BVRI were the ones collected by LDS but not included in the IGI. Heather |
