My fiance mother says she read in a book they have it in the body and i have read on the canon webpage they dont its in the lens and i asked the camera people at BEST BUY and they say no. She owns the Canon EOS Rebel XSi and i want to get the Canon T1i. She also said thats what the "i" stood for.

The Canon EOS image stabilisation system is courtesy of a gyro sensor and motor in the lens not the body.
There is some confusion as the sensor in camera bodies does vibrate, but this is purely to shake off dust and dirt from the sensor.
Sony, Olympus and Pentax have anti-shake in the body, Canon and Nikon, so far, have favoured having their anti-shake in the lens.
Not every lens needs anti-shake and whilst it is a desirable function for some situations a lot of shake can be reduced by correct camera technique.
Anti shake will not work very well below certain shutter speeds, isn’t required above some others, can’t correct for motion of the subject and some system don’t work so well if the camera is in portrait mode or if the camera is panning or tilting.
In short, anti-shake is useful but not the be all and end all.
The Best Buy folks are correct, Canon uses lens-based image stabilization originally developed for their 35mm film cameras. The "i" in the model name has nothing to do with image stabilization. The T1i is simply the successor to the XSi which replaced the XTi before it.
For what it’s worth, both the Rebel XSi and Rebel T1i are sold with the same 18-55mm IS that includes image stabilitation. The Rebel XSi was the first Canon Rebel to offer that particular version of the 18-55mm lens. The two previous versions of the 18-55mm kit lens sold with the original Digital Rebel, Rebel XT and Rebel XTi lacked the IS feature. The lenses therefore lacked the IS designation.
As someone else noted, Olympus, Pentax and Sony all offer image stabilization built into the body. While I might otherwise suggest looking at these brands for an in-body image stabilization feature, the fact your mother already owns a Canon makes a strong argument for sticking with that system. Doing so allows the two of you to share lenses and accessories as you grow into your hobby and upgrade your cameras and lenses overtime. If either of you chooses a different brand, you would loose that compatibility.
DON’T believe everything your future mother-in-law says. Tell her she has been reading the wrong book and has no idea of what she’s talking about. Because she IS wrong.
But…..if you want to stay on her good side, just ignore her comments as the typical ‘mother-in-law knows best’ advice that you will have to endure for many years to come……….lol
good luck…
