Over the last several weeks I feel I have become quite a expert on the Emigrant Savings Bank Records. Probably learned a little more than I wanted to. But I wanted to share what I have learned with everyone so that may you won't have to go through the learning curve as I have. Availability of the records for research: If you live in the NYC area you should have no problem with finding the microfilm to research the records. The NYPL has the microfilm at its library on 5th Ave and 42nd street. If you live outside the NYC area there are 7 other choices for you in the US: Mormon FHL at Salt Lake City: The microfilm is restricted to the vault in SLC. It can not be sent out to the local FHC's. CO DENVER PUB LIBR FL BROWARD CNTY, LIBR DIV MA BOSTON PUB LIBR MA HARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBR TECH SERV MI LIBRARY OF MICHIGAN OH STATE LIBR OF OHIO I have checked with each of the libraries including the Mormon and NYPL and the microfilm at each library can not be sent out on Inter-Library Loan. Can be used only at their libraries. If you live in Oklahoma like myself, your just plum out of luck. One person on the email list had a good idea though. You might be able to purchase some of the microfilm through the NYPL for $25 per roll. If you go that route I suggest you purchase the index to the test deposit books. Two rolls I believe that cover from 1850 - 1866. Once you find the names and their corresponding account numbers, hire a researcher in NYC to make photocopies of the test deposit books for those you are wanting. Should end up costing a person alot less going that route. Don McGovern Oklahoma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Don...let me also add that the " microfilms - with the essential information - are available at the National Archives and the Huntington Historical Society..however, the NYPL has the entire set. If you are going to buy the set, I would say the ones with the names and other pertinent information would be worth purchasing. I beleive it is 4 through 10. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you Don. Were you able to find what you were looking for ...that is have you been able to actually look at the microfilms? Wonder why these are not being distributed. Elizabeth V. Cardinal EVC1369@comcast.net evcardinal@yahoo.com www.geocities.com/evcardinal/

Do we know if they are for sale?
