Dear Friends, The LDS aka Family Search photo duplication service, as we know it, is ending. "Photo duplication services will be discontinued as of December 5, 2014. As of this date, existing orders will be completed, but new orders will not be accepted... IF the film or book has been digitized, you can print your own copies directly from the web site, if printing the image is not restricted by the copyright holder." AND "If the film or book you are seeking is not digitized yet, and is available on microfiche or microfilm, it can usually be ordered and sent to a local family history center, where you can view the resource." USING LDS SEARCH CATALOG https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Introduction_to_the_Family_History_Library_Catalog SEARCH ENGINE FOR CATALOG ENTRIES https://familysearch.org/catalog-search Barb

The greatest loss to New York researchers, of course, will be free and convenient access to copies of the NYC vital records indexed by the Italian Genealogy Group and the German Genealogy Group. After FamilySearch ends the service, the only means of obtaining those copies will be by ordering (for a fee) from the NYC Municipal Archives or renting the microfilm at a Family History Center. When FamilySearch digitizes the NYC vital record microfilms (a major undertaking), we will be able to download copies.

Hi PJ, Definitive reason, no. It appears that folks will be able to print many digitized documents directly from LDS, and view non-digitized at the LDS branches. That seems to cover every base.
