If you want to wait a few years, LDS is scanning all their microfilms. > 2. Are they available for loan through my library? Not via public libraries or private libraries, like university libraries, etc. LDS doesn't participate in Inter-Library Loan programs. LDS FHL microfilms are only available at the main LDS FHL, which is in Salt Lake City, Utah, and, via a FHL rental program at LDS Family History Centers. LDS has Centers throughout the world. US microfilm rental is $5.50 per roll. Rental period is 60 days ...actual availability in a FHC is 4 weeks. Renewal is possible. > 3. Since they are in Latin Polish, how do I get someone to read them, > a local college student perhaps? The Galician church vital records are typically in a tabular format. There are guides available on how to translate the information. I know people that have had no formal Latin or Polish language training and with the guides, such as those prepared by Fred Hoffman and Jon Shea, are able to translate the records with ease. > Thanks, > John _________ Lavrentiy Krupniak http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Galicia_Poland-Ukraine/ > > -----Original Message----- > From: galicia-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:galicia-bounces@rootsweb.com] > On Behalf Of Laurence Krupnak > Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 5:34 PM > To: galicia@rootsweb.com > Subject: [GALICIA] Can't Find Information > > Hliadky (Ukrainian place name) > > Hladky, (former Polish place name) is near Ternopil, Ukraine. > > Nastia, is one short form of Anastasia.
