Gill Cole said: 'Batch' files were from searching IGI, when an ancestor was found we had a link 'family' which gave us batch files - all the family together.0

A van Helsdingen said: Many records from the IGI were used to generate profiles in the FamilySearch Family Tree, which shows family relationships.
If you search in the FS search engine, a tree symbol indicates when the record is attached to someone in the Family Tree.
This doesn't apply to IGI records that were user-contributed, only from the extraction programs.0 -

"'Batch' files were from searching IGI, when an ancestor was found we had a link 'family' which gave us batch files - all the family together."
Why do you need these batch files to find "all the family together"? If a relevant record is attached to a profile then simply look at said profile to see all the family together, at least so far as they are associated with that particular FSFT profile. So far as I can tell what you are asking for is obsolete, would duplicate existing, much better, functionality and therefore serves no purpose.0
