Yes yes yes!!! The 1880 was much easier to search with the old method. I also keep wondering why they are waiting to index everything before putting all the microfilms online. (Risk of duplication? It's going to take years and years and years before they can index all those films) I'd love to be researching my French ancestors at home. I'm sure there are many folks with young children or being caregivers or who work long hours who would really appreciate the flexibility of being able to research on their own time schedule without having to go to the FHL to do it.

It would sure be nice if the church would decide to put some of the original records they have on microfilm on line without the indexing, i.e. especially wills and probate records, parish registers, etc. If this a permission issue or what? The Danish government as well as Norway has done such an excellent job of providing census and parish registers online. For instance, even the printed copies of the Great Britain Principal Probate Registry Index would be extremely useful online. Indexing is great; however, in my lifetime (not more than 25 years more), I would sure like to be able to search some of what the church has on microfilm--online, especially since I cannot get the the FHL anymore. I really do not care whether it is indexed or not.
