Do you mean Vital Record Index. These are a Birth and Marriage index on Cd from the Church of the latter Day Saints. These can be searched in the normal way but you must purchase the disks Mary

Thanks Carol and Mary My face is not too red as I didn't know that. Are they the same as the LDS IGI records ?
