IGI Searching – Your FamilySearch password may need to be updated

For those of you that are using Legacy’s "automatic IGI searching" tool, you may have received the following message:

There were problems logging into FamilySearch.org

FamilySearch.org maintains the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Searching the index does not require a user name and password unless you wish to view some of the LDS-related data.

If you receive the above message while searching the IGI through Legacy’s tool, your password has probably expired. To resolve this issue, please visit www.familysearch.org and click on the Sign On link in the upper right. Here you can update your password, and IGI searching through Legacy can continue.

If you have not yet tried this powerful tool, click on Legacy’s Search menu, then click Search the IGI website. Although you can manually search the website, Legacy automatically performs the searches using numerous combinations of search criteria that you probably could not come up with on your own.

Give it a try. This automatic IGI searching is available in both editions of Legacy – standard and deluxe.
