Not jesting. If one person extracted it, they only need one more to proof it. They are doing parishes all the time. Maybe I'm thinking too big, but I thought that's what they wanted to do...index everything before they release the microfilms online. Was there any new news at Rootstech about releasing microfilms to the public online? I hope to one day help with parishes from my ancestral area in the Basque country.

Orscholz, Faha, Freudenburg, Saarholzbach, Keuchingen, Mettlach, Britten, Nohn, Dreisbach, Tunsdorf, OberTunsdorf, UnterTunsdorf, Wehlingen, Bethingen, Besseringen, Hilbringen, Kirf, Meurich, Munzingen, Weiten, etc. I have map showing the whole area covered in the database. Consider how many microfilms involved. Consider the restrictions the Catholic Church archives in Trier placed on the microfilms for this area. It's easier to use this database my cousin sent me because he finecombed births, christenings, marriages, deaths and burials and pulled all together.

your naivete is showing.... They are already phasing out extractions for Temple file. The temple file is already overflowing courtesy of the nFS. Then any new ones have to be pre-approved after negotiations with owners of records. And the ones already released into Historical Records, many of them do not have indexes at all. That takes years.
