Re: Research Helps

["mexicanfhr" <jonathan@...>]

When there is a IGI record, says that the record was submitted by a 
LDS Member.  Especially, if it was submitted in the 1970's, 1980's, 
and the early 1990's, on paper.  The church kept a copy on the 
submission on film.  They are sorted into batch numbers and into 
Serial or sheet numbers.  These numbers are so that you can find the 
record on the film.  As far as I know, you can only use the Batch 
number, when performing a online search. 

The submissions films, are restricted to the Family History Library 
in Salt Lake.

thanks,
Jonathan
