Hi,

Maybe this is a stupid question as I don't know how the IGI site works but could anyone explain to me how they can find people that don't seem to be on OPR's on SP? Where do the researchers find the information?

Hi Lizzie

Most of the work is done by members of their church, many of whom call upon their own family trees as the basis of their research. They sometimes have access to personal family histories, such as family bibles, which may not be on SP's OPRs.
