Joseph; Yes, I am one of the those volunteers
that does "extraction" from the films for posting. It takes a long time because
I can't do it full time and there are names that I come across that I have never
seen before and have no clue as to what they are. Especially the Indian names
and the ancient fathers spelled names as they sounded. Two different
fathers will spell a name different for the same person - baptism and later
marriage. Maybe we haven't gotten to the records in
question yet. It is a slow process.

Subject: [ranchos] % of Films Transcribed
to IGI
Well I'm thinking about it and I'm taking this discussion to
the group. . .
oh absolutely I understand what you are asking now. Yes
yes it takes volunteers to transscribe the info off of the films to then input
into the IGI and other databases. When it comes down to it I'm sure that only
a very small % of the films available are online. If you want Valpariso maybe
you should call SLC and ask them about it. . .hey maybe you could be one of
the volunteer transcribers though it would take an enormous amount of time.
I'm going to forward this conversation to Jonathan Walker to see if he might
care to comment.
Jonathan what % of the films would you guess are on
the IGI? This discussion started because we couldn't find any info on those
PDF files for Valparaiso.
Jonathan. . .Do you know if there is a list
of films on microfiche available for Mexico but not necessarily transcribed
onto the IGI?
thanks,
joseph

Joseph,
Problem is that I don't find any record from Valparaiso on the IGI
database!!!
Could it be that records from some films aren't still captured to the
IGI ?
And if it is so for Valparaiso, could there also be true for other
localities?
hmmm,
i'll have to think on this. . .maybe i'll call Salt Lake and ask
them.
thanks,
joseph
