Film Section of Nuestros Ranchos

Films are being digitally recorded by the LDS library, but at this time
very few if any are available for the areas we research in Jalisco,
Zacatecas, and/or Aguascalientes.

At this time you can't access the actual films online but have to order
and view the films at your local family history center.

The film section gives you the ability to _get an idea_ of what is on
each film listed if there is an associated batch number. So if you see a
film and there is an IGI or VRI next to the film number you can click on
it and it will show you all the information that someone painstakingly
transcribed off each film and made available. If you put a surname or
given name and a surname in you will be able to narrow the results.
[NOTE: This information is subject to error as many times the
information is transcribed by people that are not actually doing
research from this area or possibly even fluent in the Spanish
Language]. Any information you find here should be used only as a guide.
You find the info and then you order the film. Use the dates from the
IGI/VRI to tell you where to go the actual film so you can CONFIRM FOR
YOURSELF that the information is accurate.

Ask more questions if anything is unclear. Who knows but someone might
step forward and do a nice tutorial on Batch Searching similar to the
one Maria Cortez did on "PAF Instructions for creating reports in Rich
Text Format (.rtf)" which can be found in the files:
