A wee bit more information regarding this service, in addition to Judy's link to the downloadable forms. You can obtain excellant, A3 in some cases, photocopies for any entries identifiable with an exact date on ALL of the films or ducments held by the LDS at Salt Lake City (their central library), not just those which have been previously indexed by the LDS on the IGI which is only a TINY fraction of their holdings. Two years ago I received 7 photocopies for baptisms, marriages and burials within 5 weeks of ordering from Australia, the cost then was just A$14.00. The indexes were from the Sussex Family History Society, which I was then a member, none of these entries were then and are still not on the IGI. So it is quite possible to repeat this process for Essex provided the LDS do HAVE the films available, and YOU can quote the film number, date reference, type of record and the names. hope this helps, cheers Bob in Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay DONALD CLARK" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 7:14 PM Subject: [Ess] Ordering copies from Salt Lake City > My friend has recently (end of 2010) ordered some photocopies by the > method > suggested on this list.
