Individual linkage asks whether the two linkage records
represent the same individual. In this case the events in the records might well be different, though
the name and possibly some other identifying information would have to be the same or compatible.
Hence, I1 is identified by name, etc., in the records documenting four different events. When we
link individual records in the IGI, one of them (D6) may record the individual's birth (E4)
information while another (D7) the christening (E5) information. It is the similarity in name and
proximity in dates and places of the events, i.e., their compatibility that allows linkage.
