You go to a Family History Center and they then order whatever microfilms you want from the Family History Library out in Salt Lake City. It takes a couple of weeks after ordering them for them to get to the Family History Center. As to writing Schöllkrippen: The rule in German is that if the "Umlaut" is left off of a vowel where it should be, the "Umlaut" gets replaced by the letter "e". So if you can't type the "Umlaut", you simply use the "e" spelling; e.g. Schöllkrippen becomes Schoellkrippen. Robert
