The copy was great - easy to read. Sadly, I didn't find the person I was looking for......... Now I am looking through a copy of the 10th Ward and the copy appears to be very fuzzy. Kind of like when you go to the eye doctor and they test your eyes - some letters are really clear and other are fuzzy. Very very difficult to if not impossible to read. Could it just be this particular filming? Has anyone ever looked at copies that were fairly legible? If so, I'll ask the FHC to send another copy.
