Steven can you fill us in on why some of those films cover overlapping years. . .
I do not know why...I just know that they do.  My closest guess is that the documents were scattered, out of order, and just jumbled together.
I'm late for work now otherwise I'd copy and print some examples but I've noticed some are something like:

1830-1899 [xxxxxxx]
1799-1856 [xxxxxxx]
1845-1900 [xxxxxxx]

thus i f you are looking for a dispensation you would need to order all three films.
Yes, you would.
has that been your experience that you just need to bite the bullet and order all 3 or is there a way to distinguish which films to order.
No there really is no way to distinguish...But do not be afraid to "bite the bullet" as you say, because you never know what pleasant surprises you may find in these other films (try to think positive, and not that the micofilms will be an utter waste of your time).
I guess I'm wondering why were there these overlapps???
Don't know for sure.  It is what it is.


gracias Steven,
De nada
