Alicia, you could do it one roll at a time at your
local FHC.
I encourage you to go to SLC for your own pleasure
and curiousity but after this just order the films from your local FHC--one at a
time for your viewing leisure. If you feel it's a great film, order it
permanent (3.50 x 3=$10.50). Marge:)

Subject: [ranchos] SLC Trip overwhelm
!!
Well here I am now getting ready to go, I have been doing my homework in
terms of all the advice I've been given. Much of the homework I had done
months ago as far as the IGI database to identify which films to order and
some I did when we went to Tlachichila in Sept 2004. All of this data is
what compelled me to go to SLC. There is so much that needs to be looked up
and verified that only a trip to SLC will do it.
I found that I would get very agressive and order many rolls of film at
my local FHS and by the time my 3 or 4 weeks were up I'd only had a chance
to review 2 or 3 rolls, hence the trip to SLC. I will be there for 3 days
and nights but somehow I don't believe that will be enough. I see from some
of your responses that some of you go several times a year. That also tells
me that 3 days will not be enough but I also know that I don't have the
financial resources to go often.
My question to those of you who have completed or are very advanced in
your quest to find your ancestors is how long did it take you to compile
this data and how many hours in a day, week or month did you have to invest
in order to get that far? Did you do it alone or did you collaborate with
other family members? Did most of you do it through your family history
centers? As I see it now I have approximately 47 rolls of film that I need
to request and I believe as I have some new findings I will find that
I might have additional requests.
My other question is how many rolls is the average you can review in one
day or is there an average. When I would go to my local FHS it would
sometimes take up to six hours to go over one roll because I didn't want to
miss anything that might not be too obvious if I scanned through it too
quickly and some were difficult to read.
I guess I'm thinking out loud and maybe someone out there has good tips
on how to scan film and how not to scan film, the right way vs the wrong
way.
