Someone mentioned purchasing Microfilm instead of renting it and I found one of I am sure many places where they can be purchased. Check out this link and see. I cannot vouch for the quality of it tho but am thinking of it for myself. Just thought you might want to see what they have. <A HREF="http://www.heritagequest.com/genealogy/microfilm/">Genealogy: Microfilm Records for the United States and Canada</A>
