You can ignore the FSID (if that's what you are seeing - your example certainly looks like one.) You will see a film number on each record, eg GS Film Number 1041297. If you click on the Catalog tab, select Film/Fiche Number and put the number in there you can get the exact details of the film which is indexed. The example I gave is Parish Registers for Alton 1615-1901 and Parish Registers for Bishops-Sutton 1711-1876. If you click on "Parish Registers for Alton 1615-1901" you will get more details. The only thing it doesn't usually tell you is the name of the Church, unless there are several churches in the same city on the one film. -- Jenny M Benson

Perhaps there is a need to add that the step after finding the film number is to ask the local LDS Family History Centre to order you a copy of the film if they don't already have it. You have to pay a modest fee but it's enormously cheaper than travelling to a repository that does have a copy. On arrival they will reserve it for your exclusive use for a month or so. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe [email protected] for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/
