I have contacted Familysearch and asked the question - will let you know the answer when I get it. Its important to all of us to know how trustworthy the information is.

Kucinta, I have been doing just as you say, but with trepidation in case it suddenly disappears!

Incidentally, I always thought that the the Hugh Wallis site only contained extracted information, but I have found one or two that I looked up were actually submitted - they were those that have funny batch nos.

That's an excellent question, Christine. Anyone know how we can find out? Whilst I appreciate the care that must be taken with submitted entries, sometimes they do give you an idea to search on whilst visiting a records office or ordering a fiche.

I don't know the answer to this, but for the moment at least you can use the IGI in the old way.

Click on 'What's new' on the top right hand side of the Family Search page.

Then scroll down on the new page , and, under 'more help',
is a link to 'Search the IGI'

That works as it did before.

I did add the following to an older thread, but I don't think anyone has seen it, so I thought I'd start a new one - hope this is OK!

Does anyone know what has happened to the submitted entries now that they are moving to the new site? Are they still there or have they been filtered out? It used to be obvious which ones were extracted and which were submitted, but now they all look like "genuine" information.
