List Your Films Please: was FHC Westwood

okay, so now the cat is out of the bag. In the Ranchos2 files [look
under "members films"] area is a place where members can list their
permanent films. I know that some of those films might not be exactly
yours but if you could why not make a list of all the films you have "permanently"
available via your family history center that have to do with Jalisco,
Zacatecas or Aguascalientes and add them to the list. If all the
members would do this we could possible ask for an occassional emergency*
look up or maybe some general information.



For example like I was surprised to see so many baptisms for Indios
from Teocaltichi on the film for Tlaltenango. It seemed as if only the
indios from Teocaltichi were listed and no others. thanks,



joseph



ps: *what exactly is an emergency genealogical look up?. . .hmmm, one
that you just gotta have the answer to or you won't be able to sleep
for a few days and you have exams coming up and you will have blown a
whole semester of studying if you

Going to Salt Lake City

Remember, if the film is not there, you have to
order it. My FHC states it's $3.50 for each film for a 3-week loaner
period, renewable 2 more times before it becomes a permanent part of the
collection there.  Marge

Marge, don't forget to be on the lookout for any
members of the Duarte family.  Also, let me know which
of our common family members you want me to on a
lookout for.

Regards.

True, but when I first got started in to genealogy,
almost all of the microfilm from Jerez and Camargo was
available.

Going to Salt Lake City

Before going to the FHL in Salt Lake, you need to  check and see if
the films,that you want look at are there.  You can do this by
checking the Library Catalog, at Familysearch.org, if the films are in
the the FHL, it will say above the film number FHL International or
FHL USA, etc.  If it is in the vault, It will say Vault.  You can
order the film into the library by calling the Library at (801)
240-2334. That is the direct line to the International floor
attendants, just say that you want ot order a film, into the the
library.  It usually takes about 2 days to arrive.  Also, they give
priority to patrons, who come from outside of Utah, to use the library.

Also, when are you planning on going to the Library, in March?  Maybe
we can meet at the Library?

Thanks,
Jonathan

The optimist would say, "Oh yes that is absolutely true!! Very good!!"

 

The pessimist would say, "But they do not have all of them, especially not the ones that I need."

 

There the realist would say,  "Expect to have a really good time, but not as good as you had hoped."

 

I have been to the LA Family History Center many times before, with a list of microfilms I had wanted to look at, and then discovered to my dismay that they were not there.  So, not all the films are there.  But, yes they do have quite a few.
