Subject: Using the FHC catalog to locate a record...FOR EVERYONE
Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2005 11:13:22 -0700


Dee and everyone else who is confused by the IGI and finding the correct
film #,

There are so many parts of the LDS catalog, that I learned it all by trial
and error.
For your ggrandmother (Martha Iba...of Niederellenbach, Germany) I found her
in the IGI and saw the listing. It has a batch and film number. I clicked
onto the batch # 7101325 and when the next page comes up I do nothing but
click search. Then on the next page scroll down until you see her name.
You will also see the name of her brother (perhaps). Make a note of the
place of the christening....Niederellenbach. You can use this to find the
film where this record is located.

Go to
Family HistoryLibrary Catalog and hit the place search and then type in
Niederellenbach. click on Germany, Preußen, Hessen-Nassau, Niederellenbach.
Then click on Germany, Preußen, Hessen-Nassau, Niederellenbach - Church
records, and then click on Kirchenbuch, 1659-1875 Evangelische Kirche
Oberellenbach (Kr. Rotenburg) .

When you get to the next page, in the upper right hand corner click view
film notes.

You will then see Taufen, Heiraten, Tote, Konfirmationen 1830-1875
(Niederellenbach) FHL INTL Film 475699 .....now my bet is that if you order
this film, you should find a birth record for both she and her possible
brother.

You said below >>>So, what you are saying is that if I get a NY death or
birth certificated number from another source, I can order a photo copy of
the actually certificate as long as I put the film number. <<< Yes, as long
as you identify the film that the actual cert is on. also can be done for
naturalization and marriage.

Lastly, you write >>>There is a marriage listing for an Anne Rolston and a
William Rolston on September 9, 1846, I have Batch No: M701621, Call No:
0101072, Film. Is the call no: what I need to put down? <<<<

Using what I did above if a different way...go to the marriage listing and
click on the call # and it brings you to Marriage records, 1845-1870, with
indexes to marriages, 1845-1921, in the General Registry Office of Ireland.
Again click on view film notes and there you find the specific film that
this marriage is listed...FHL BRITISH Film 101241 .

I do hope that this helps.

I have used it for births, marriages and deaths. Also for naturalization
records. Take a look at the form and you can see that there are lots of
things they will copy, that I have not taken advantage of.

I do believe that I am totally confused in how to research or make use of
the things I find at the LDS. When I first stated out researching there I
found a listing in the IGI for my ggrandmother....Martha Iba...of
Niederellenbach, Germany. I was very excited as I assumed that the person
who submitted it would be related somehow to my ggrandmother. I asked at
the time what else I could do with the info... and was told "nothing." I
also thought that if you find a listing for a birth certificate number that
you would have to order the film that it's on to see it and make a copy.
So, what you are saying is that if I get a NY death or birth certificated
number from another source, I can order a photo copy of the actualy
certificate as long as I put the film number. I guess I just answered my
own question?

Sorry, but I find researching at the LDS confusing. There is a marriage
listing for an Anne Rolston and a William Rolston on September 9, 1846,
0273l Eglish Parish, Armagh, Ireland. I would like to see if this could
possibly be my ggranfather and his wife. All I know about them is that came
from Ireland. The date would be about right. I have Batch No: M701621,
sheet 00, Date 1845, Call No: 0101072, Film. Is the call no: what I need to
put down? I tried to find a film for this by going through Armagh, Ireland
but didn't find what I felt I needed. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Dee
