Add Batch Numbers to Film Area
Okay folks who is game for some work for a worthwhile cause???
Arturo has poured his hard work and labor (thanks Arturo) into building
this site and especially great is the "Films" area of the site where you
can easily search batch numbers. This area of the group is well worth
you getting familiar with.
I've just added some new films to the Villanueva area but there are
still many many areas of our Research area that need to have the Batch
numbers added. Why not consider taking one or maybe two hours per month
and volunteer to enter batch numbers to this area.
Here is how you can find batch numbers:
1) Look at the Fiche at your Family History Center and then take those
Batch numbers and confirm they are valid
or
here is how I do it:
1) go to the IGI (you can try this with the VRI also)
2) in the FirstNameLastName area put in Maria Garcia (or any other very
very comon name)
3) in the Event put in "Birth/Christening" (later you can put in Marriage)
4) in the Country put in Mexico and in the state pick either Jalisco,
Zacatecas or Aguascalientes
5) click on "Search"
if you are lucky you'll get 5000 hits so you
6) do a "page search" with your browsers "Find" function to look for the
specific Location you are trying to find or
7) if you are feeling generous just look at the first page for any
locations that are not already uploaded to the Film section
let me know if any of you want to try this as there is a bit more but
not too much.
thanks,
joseph
