To All:

If you will go to the Newfoundland's Grand Banks Genealogy site you will
find a fairly good listing of the available LDS reels and what their
contents are collected and transcribed by Judy Picard and Barbara
McGrath.

You can reach them through the home page by using the "Available
Research Sources in St. John's" Subject button. From that menu take the
selection for Family History Centers. Here you will find several
different lists of reels and their contents listed.
