I think the material at the LDS site is from material submitted by
individuals and not that gathered through their microfilming project. I
have entered names from places that they have microfilmed, such as
courthouses and church records, and there is no corresponding data at
the 'Net site. I think the microfilmed records must be ordered as usual
from the various centers.
