Glenn, I applaud your first steps and the efforts of other list members in posting the numbers of LDS microfilmed records. If this could be expanded it would be a godsend to researchers such as myself. I live in France and am visiting the U.S. in March. If I knew what was available in LDS microfilms of Essex County local records, I might be able to order ahead through a LDS Family History Center that I could visit during my two-week stay. All the best, Dave McMane Paris
