I see that you mentioned Mesa . . . You should be able to order in Chicago films at the Family History Center there and view them yourself. Once in a great while you might bump into a "restricted film" (one that Salt Lake isn't allowed to lend to branch libraries), but I don't think that would be much of a problem for most Chicago records. Newberry offers a "quick search" option for $7.00/search but I believe that is only for select films already in their collection. http://www.newberry.org/genealogy/quicksearch.html If you order in films at your local FHC it's a little bit less expensive: $5.50 + whatever notification fee they charge (probably $.25-$.50). (FHC film order fees just went up from $3.25, so there used to be a much greater difference.) Also, there are sometimes less expensive options for some types of records. Check the "Lookup List" at the Cook County GenWeb site, for example, or IRAD when it opens again. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcook/Lookups/lookups.htm http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/irad/iradaddr.html Cynthia ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 12:58 AM Subject: Re: [IL-CHICAGO] LDS rolls.... > Would Newberry Library look at the LDS fillms there for me since I no > longer > live in Chicago
