EXTRACTED
RECORDS
Steps for acquiring
extracted records for the Church.
1. The Church
acquires permission for filming.
2. Records are filmed and sent to SLC.
3. Films copied and stored in vault.
4. Copies of film sent to Stake Leader
5. Stake Leader sends to Ward Leader then members who
volunteer to read a film and enter the information into a computer extraction
program at home or at the FHC.
6. Information is audited at Ward Level, then Stake level
and then to SLC for a final audit.
7. Information is then entered into the IGI by batch
numbers and also sent to temples for ordinance work to be done.
IGI
familysearch.org is the only place that ordinance work can
be found at home on the internet. In order to access ordinance you will need a
user ID and password. Extracted records
can be found in the IGI and Hugh Wallis website search engine.
Do you have your Family Search user ID and password?

Click Advance Search and Sign on
Click IGI (found to Left on screen)
Enter Name and Region only
First and last
name if common name. Use just the last name if uncommon.
Example: Bentley
in England is like smith in US so I have to put a first name with Bentley.
Luibrand is uncommon so I can use just the last name and region and search.
From the list look
for christenings
Click on a name.
Scroll down to messages: You are looking for extracted
birth or christening not submitted by
Under messages: will be sources and a batch
number. Clicking on the batch number will bring you back to the search
screen with the batch number filled in. Then you can fill in a last name,
search, and find all the persons with that last name in that batch. If you
leave the name blank and click search you will get all names that were
submitted in that batch.
By searching each name it is possible to find an entire
family. I have found that the childrens baptism is done but the parents are
not sealed and the children are not sealed to the parents.
If the source call number is another color other than black
you can click on the number and get the source of the batch.
