Update on Family History Library trip

Ranchos Members

Report on visit to Family History Library in Salt Lake City (FHL in SLC).

Cojumatlan de Regules, Michoacan - Film Inventory at FHL in SLC
Unfortunately only 1 film number was found. Film number 654633. I see on the catalog listing a few more films showing FHL INTL Film which should mean they are at the FHL in SLC, so this could mean that these films are in High Density location. When ordering your films before a trip, they will check High Density first before ordering from the VAULT. When you get to the library, always check the file drawers to see if your films are in, if not, then go to the window and ask if they are in High Density. They will check their database and either order the film from VAULT or they go back to High Density location and bring them out to the window, usually takes one hour. Don't recall who ask to check this out so I am addressing it to all

We will need an 18 wheeler to bring home your documents. We got all documents except the following:
Unfortunately your Juan Carlos de Godoy Miranda b 19 Mar 1687 was not found. Film number 439844 went from Feb 1687 thru 1688. We looked forward and backwards both directions for 1 year. If we had another day, we would have checked further.
Since Rosalinda Ruiz was with us, she checked over your documents and made copies.
About your Saint Cristobal Magallanas Correra, Rich found Mateo Correra during your time frame in Colotlan, so we made a copy of page with his signature on three times. Nice clean copy. Rosalinda says she believes your Cristobal Magallanas was a priest in Totatiche, Jalisco. We didn't check that out any further.

Maria Elena Guitierrez
Found all documents, need your address so we can mail them to you.

Mickey,
I am sorry to report I never could figure out what films went with what request. When we see you in Houston later this month, I’ll explain to you the format that works for us when visiting the FHL.

Maria Cortez
I believe we found all your documents. I sealed your envelope up and can’t confirm it. I guess you will be surprised.

Yvonne Beltran
We found all your documents

Your film number 1327059 was very hard to read. With the baptism Rich went back and forward one year and couldn’t find it. With the Marriage we found the date with a few documents, but none were yours. Rich also went back and forth 1 year.

Sometimes when FHC order films for their locations it come out in better condition. We had a film for Banamichi, Sonora and spent many trips trying to view it until a volunteer suggested we try ordering a better copy. When the original was made they must have been low on toner or whatever they use. The second copy was a little better.

In the two days we were there, we were able to find 19 documents of Rich’s ancestors, and 63 documents of yours total of 82. We spent 12 hours on Tuesday and 10 ½ hours on Friday with Rosalinda.
All documents are now in envelopes and ready to mail out. We will wait until we find a Post Office or in grocery store post office to verify the weight before mailing them out.
We are driving thru Wyoming right now as I type this listing and just passed a herd of antelope. Nothing else to see, kinda like the middle of Nevada, but windy. Lots of trucks.
