well thank you so much for this work you are doing. . .commendable. I
thought about doing it but realized I couldn't commit to that kind of
committment. I did a volunteer job on the 1910 Census and boy that use
a lot of time. So I can't do it again unless my situation changes.
Thanks for your efforts. What area are you working on? Have you done
other films? Is there a list of films somewhere that has which films
are in "Que" to be done next? Are there other Jalisco, Zacatecas, or
Aguascalientes films that might be happening soon.
Gracias Jose para su trabajo!

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
