TW>TA>You have received a wealth of information but
TW>TA>I am surprized (and embarassed 8-( we haven't
TW>TA>mentioned those who have copied more genealogy
TW>TA>information from all sorces; the Mormans.

TW>TA>I recommend you look in your Yellow Pages for
TW>TA>a local Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints.
TW>TA>If the one you phone doesn't have a Family
TW>TA>History Center that can help you, I am sure
TW>TA>they can advise where it is; and my earlier
TW>TA>experiences makes me reasonably sure if they
TW>TA>don't have someone to help you, they will be
TW>TA>able to put you in touch with someone who
TW>TA>can share their know-how with you,

TW>TA>Many of these Family History Centers get rather
TW>TA>busy at times and will often make an appointment
TW>TA>convenient for both of you.

TW>y The remote libraries have NO micrlfilm "Copying" Capabilites and the
TW>staff would have little knowledge that would be helpfull.
TW>Now if his records were "Published" at some point in the past they could
TW>search their Microfilm Catalog and see if their Church had copied it.

I sense you have not been as fortunate as some of we other family
historians in this respect. We have three LDS Family History Centers
here the greater metro-Boston area, where I have had very positive
how-to support from the volunteers there; as well as in their amazing
facilitary in Salt Lake city. More than few have at-cost copying
facilities for non-copyright materials (gets busy at times by folks
less fortunate then we, so appointments can save some frustations 8-).

Stay young, OldAck.
