When there is a IGI record, says that the record was submitted by a
LDS Member. Especially, if it was submitted in the 1970's, 1980's,
and the early 1990's, on paper. The church kept a copy on the
submission on film. They are sorted into batch numbers and into
Serial or sheet numbers. These numbers are so that you can find the
record on the film. As far as I know, you can only use the Batch
number, when performing a online search.
The submissions films, are restricted to the Family History Library
in Salt Lake.
