However, a lot of the Batch numbers are available for viewing ot the FHS site by just clicking on the Batch number. Not all have been put online, but eventually they will be. I was surprised to find all the female births of Flinsbach online at the Family History site. That is up to sometime in the early 1700s. I just clicked on the Batch number to see what would happen. Still, one should order the church records on microfilm and read the records yourself. With the printout of the Flinsbach female births, I was able to decipher some of the script that I had not been able to get exactly straight. Also, a few typos and misreading by the extracters were noted. But we all make those errors. I am still seeing things in my copies of the records that I evidently missed before. Armchair genealogy gets easier and easier, but then there are those who were experts in leaving no records! Cary
