Hi! Sorry to take so long to acknowledge your response to me! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. It makes sense to me now, and I really appreciate it! I have another question for you, or another lister, if you don't mind. The LDS library also has naturalization records for Washtenaw Co. Have you or anyone else used them? I don't recall the years they cover - but it's quite a broad span. I looked at them, though, and they appear to be the actual records, but not an index. Does anyone know if the film includes an index somewhere on it? Or where I would get a peak at the index? Thanks much! Mary --- "Jan E.

Is the LDS center opened again? I went there in December during their normally 'opened' hours and they were closed.
