Joseph,

Its me again!!! I am dropping you a quick line to
APOLOGIZE again............;( !!!

After I sent my info to you, I read your email that
said not to include live relatives. Please ignore the names after Seferina
Robles. We are still living.Also, I missed the boat  about how to
list  names. In the emails I have received I keep seeing these sites I am
not familiar with. Boy do I feel dumb!!! I am not sure how to see info on others
. Is there somewhere on the site where info is listed and are we allowed to
contact them?

HOPE

Comment


Are you sure. . .maybe my use of the phrase ILL is wrong. I thought
that if there was an area that didn't have a close by FHC that they
would let the films go to a local library. Its not exactly an ILL but
kind of. I thought that since that library that Victor attends has such
user unfriendly hours that the FHL might consider allowing this. I
really don't know. I might be absolutely wrong about this.

why not talk to Salt Lake and pettition them to allow your films to be
ILL to you local library. All they can do is say no. I've understood
that in some cases they will do that, but maybe that's only when there

Comment

Victor and Peggy,

 

I don't know where you live but my advice is to find an FHC center that you really like within reasonable distance from you. I have 4 centers in my area but thanks to Helyn a Rancho's member I go to one that to date has been very good to me and while it's not the closest one they are very accomodating. I have also learned not to get over zealous by ordering too many films at one time. There are some films that are very long covering a long time span and some that are shorter and easier to review.

 

Thanks to many of you who answered my questions about lateral research. I have now given myself permission to take as long as necessary in order to get where I'm going in my ancestral search. It could be finding all my aunts and uncles(lateral) as well as my direct line ancestors and I'll get there when I get there

 

I have been scanning the films that I order record by record lest I miss something valuable. I now know that in the first films I reviewed last March when I went to Salt Lake I scanned over them too fast and probably missed finding data about some of these aunts, uncles or cousins that would or should be in my data base. Fortunately I know which ones they are and can request them again for my local FHC.

 

Peggy, as Arturo stated, any films that you deem valuable, before your two or three week time period is up you can renew  and after the third renewal it will remain at your local FHC on permanent or indefinite loan. Those are the film numbers that Joseph has requested we include in the database. I for one need to document which film #'s, location, time period and event and forward or enter into the data base if we are allowed to edit.

San Jose, Ca
