Brilliant, thanks for the info.

I have a micro fiche reader at home. If anyone has micro fiche and not able to get to their local library, I would be happy to search your micro fiche for you.

Hi
You have to view the films at the centre. When you order the films you will be given a choice of having them there permanently or for a few weeks. One is slightly more expensive than the other.
You could phone the centre first to check out the procedure.

I am thinking about ordering a number of films through the IGI for a particular parish which is not available on their site.

Would I be correct in assuming that I can only access the tape by attending their local centre (Not a problem, as there is one on our town) and that I can keep coming back to view it, or am I allowed to take it away and view it at my leisure?

If you have lots of people in one particular area it might be worth your while joining the local FHS society who will be able help you with parish records.
Find My Past have a few parish records online and someone may be able to look for you and it's always worthwhile looking to see if there online parish clerk.
If you give us some idea of where you want to look someone on here might be able to search for you if they are close to a records office .
I have ordered several films from the LDS but I'm lucky in that I can get to the Hyde Park centre in London.

Do you have a records office near you? If so, you could visit it to see exactly what films and fiche are like; the staff are usually very helpful.

Hi, many thanks for your help, will try out your suggestions.

once again, many thanks. M.

Most family history socities have PR in block of years on fiche you can buy, for about £1-25/£1-50ish if you have no fiche reader your local library will allow the use of theirs,,

I like to know this too


So nudging

As far as I know you can only order a film from the LDS to view at their familysearch centre...

I am lucky and have one a few miles away.

They usually come in fiche or film format ,and the centres have the equipment so that you can view them.

They have changed the system recently and your order is available for you to view for 3 months. The cost is around £7.00 -£10.00
