Okay, I just got off the phone with the Family History Library (actually a missionary in their call center). First, they are just wonderful to deal with. Now, to get down to business. Individuals cannot purchase records, BUT organizations can. I suspect that the woman I knew who got the records had someone in an organization get them for her. That sounds like a plan to me. So, the bottom line is that they can be purchased, just not by an individual. To obtain records, an organization would need to contact the FHL Outide Sales: 1-801-240-6124. I'm going to contact my Mormon friends and see if I can purchase it, use it at home and donate it to our local FHC. Best wishes, Lynda Jones Bloomsburg, PA USA _____ .
