Find the reference number for the microfilm on the Familysearcg IGI for what you are looking for. Contact the nearest Morman records Centre to you and they will give you details of how to order it for you. I went about 3 years ago and think it was £3 a film. They have to order the relevent fiches from Solihull and the ones I ordered through the Portsmouth LDS centre took about 3 weeks to arrive. They will let you know when they come in and then you book a time slot to go in and view. I was given a two hour slot to view and it was exactly two hours and no more but fortunately found what I was looking for just as my time was ending. They hold the film for a couple of weeks before sending it back to HQ in Solihull.Some of the Irish records are poor quality and it depends on how each church stored them as many got damp. My Roscommon ones however were in a fair condition.

Has anyone used a local research centre to look up Irish Ancestry before 1837? Do they hold Township, Parish or Church graveyard records?
