IGI Batch #'s - Hugh Wallis Website The LDS Church has organized the records in the IGI
into 'batches'. These batches relate to how and when the information was
extracted from source material. For each batch Hugh Wallis extracted the
church or chapel (if specified), town, county and country names of
the first record that appears when it is called up in a browser. He then
organized them by country and county. He has included is a hotlink from each
batch number to the actual search engine provided at http://www.familysearch.org,
including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it
very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using
just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible
directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing.
