Joanne, At the suggestion of a fellow lister, I revisited the IGI site at: http://www.familysearch.org/ I was surprised to see that the German IGI is now accessable online (so soon?). The "Batch Numbers" and the "Source Call #'s" (or Film #'s) are listed for the individual. This is a great timesaver, however the films still have to be ordered through the nearest FHC. I stand corrected. Happy Hunting, Larry ----Original Message---- <<Has anyone searched the IGI for their Bavarian ancestors and been successful? I am wondering how I can get batch #'s for my interests (HAGEN, UTTENDORFER, SPANGEL) in the Mitterhausen/Gerlstetten area of Bavaria.>>
