Thanks for the reply. I am sorry I was not clear. I do know how to find the film for the index. How to do it is where I am confused. I listed the film no, the person, the date and location of the event. I was expecting to receive back the cert number. I know my info is correct and that they are there because I found them in a listing on family search. Does this make sense? I am listing the request on the photoduplication form from FHL - in the middle section. Gail Sent from my AT&T iPhone.

I would prefer to do it via the order form with the family history library in salt lake but I must be doing something wrong. Can someone help? Gail Anthem, AZ (in Phoenix)
