Joe, I ordered the Disks from the FHC or Familysearch site (Laterday Saints Church) URL: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp In fact I have many of the disks they sell and order most of the new ones as they come on-line There is no better place on the Net to obtain data at a reasonable price. I believe all of us should obtain the FHC products "before we start using Professional Researchers" to find our ancestors (do the leg work ourselves). My observations apply mainly to the British Isles and Western Europe since the data is held by Churches/Gov't and other sources that has been photocopied by thE LDS Church.. There cost is reasonable, considering what some pay to have documents obtained by the Pros (BIVRI2 costs $25.00US about 35.00Cdn. I have obtained most (mid 1800's - on) "INDEX " data for marriages and births, from the FHC disks and then ordered the films from the local FHC centre ($5.50 per film for 30 days -must be kept at the FHC). For the data that is missing I use the BMD indexes (Cdn/US/Western Europe) held by our FHC to find the reference numbers and then order the films in, then start looking and photocopying the info that I want. This statement ASSUMES you have an FHC close-by. If not you will have to ask for help on your LIst or use a PRO. The FHC centres are a great source of help, the Volunteer Workers at our centre go out of their way to assist those using the facilities and you DON'T have to be a member of the LDS Church to use the sites. The Primary Rule in finding lost souls is: PATIENCE Hope first part answers your question the remainder is of assistance to others.
