BVRI is a set of 16 discs that you can purchase from the LDS Church via the Familysearch site. They contain christenings and marriages from various parishes in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. They usually cover those not on the IGI but there is a little overlap. They contain 10.4 million christenings and 1.9 million marriages, dated 1530-1906.

I love to read the requests on here, and as I do, I come across stuff that I don't know about, such as the BVRI.

Sorry, I'm being thick, but what exactly is the index all about?
