RE: [ranchos] Jonathan's Film File-was-file uploaded to ranchos

Good Afternoon fellow researchers....

 

I have a really silly question.  Do you members have the actual microfilms that you refer to in this message?

How is it that you can get them for such a long period of time.  When I go to the FHC, I only get them for a couple of weeks.  They come in from SLC, I look through them at the center using their equipment, request copies of certain documents, then they get sent back.  What am I doing wrong?  Do you have these microfilms in your possession?  (wow!)  Does it cost more?

 

I've been reading the posts but haven't done any research (studying for a civil service test....), but I always like to read the entries.  I'm so lost...what's the deal with these podcast and who are the people being interviewed?  If I can't participate in the podcast, are there transcripts?  What information is being given here?  Sorry about all these questions, but after studying for that test, becoming a shop steward for my work's union and almost going on strike, I haven't been really up on things.

 

I have lots more questions, but I feel like I'm coming off "whiny"...sorry.

 

Signed

If you are using Excel then why can't it be that we all create Excel
files and upload them once into the files area. It seems that asking you
to do double the work by re-entering them into the database in Ranchos
is punishment for a good deed. then again maybe I'm missing something.
Is there an advantage to this particular data base in the databases over
an excel file in the files area?

I think the only difference is that for some they won't do it unless
encouraged by Maria to participate in the one in the databases (me being
an example. . .yes I hear the message and will be working on my own
excel file sometime in the near future, but i'm so sorry to say that
truthfully I hardly get into the FHC anymore for my own personal
research and all I'll do is be a big tease by putting my films up giving
the impression I'll be able to do look ups. . .well I' might be able to
do a few, especially if Kitty or Rich or Jonathan were to ask for some).

Here is my definition of a look up though: "Providing a photocopy or
scan of a persons requested record if the researcher is provided with
the complete name (first and last) and the date of the occasion (no
approximates)."

thanks,

joseph
