All kinds of records with
genealogical value have been microfilmed. For instance, in any FHC one
can
|
||||
| look up California or any place and see exactly what kinds of records have been microfilmed from there. | ||||
| Records such as birth, marriage, church, probate, land, military, bibles , newspapers and many others | ||||
| will be listed. One does not have to be in that place to see those records since they can be ordered | ||||
| from Salt Lake City's Family History Library as a temporary rental to use in the FHC for a small | ||||
| shipping fee of $3.25. They will be kept at that FHC for about 7 weeks where one views the film or | ||||
| fiche on a special reader. All rentals are renewable if necessary. Countries that have allowed the LDS | ||||
| church to come in and microfilm are accessible as easily at the same FHC. One can look up Germany, | ||||
| Hungary, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc., records. The information needed to order these records | ||||
| are accessible on microfiche and CD-ROM's located in the FHC and at the Family Search Web Site. | ||||

| Author ~ Title | ||||
| Lists the Family History Library's 'Paper' collection available in books, manuscripts, magazines, maps, | ||||
| gazetteers, etc., donated to the library or purchased by the library. One search by author or title to | ||||
| check on what is available. This kind of search will provide one with a call number and a film or fiche | ||||
| number if it is not protected by copyright. Whenever there is a film or fiche number, one orders it | ||||
| through the FHC. Many individuals over the years have contributed millions of pages of the histories | ||||
| of their ancestor. Guides to do research anywhere along with millions of public records that are in | ||||
| book form are in this collection. | ||||

| Surname | ||||
| Listing in forms by surname is a great way to locate anything that may be available by the last name | ||||
| one is researching. Any place a last name appears generates an entry into this section. Many times | ||||
| one can locate one's own family due to the other names in the same genealogy. Pedigree charts and | ||||
| family group sheets of old are also available on film in this special collection. | ||||
| ~~Go top~~ | ||||
| Subject | ||||
| A unique way to look up what is available by subject. If one wanted to look up what was available | ||||
| "Mayflower Descendants" under "Indians" or "Passenger ships". Anything, regardless of form would | ||||
| be listed here. Sometimes, one finds things here that may not be found any other way! | ||||
