There's quite a few records available on microfilm from the LDS Family History Centers. I think a film costs about $5.50 to rent now, but it is almost as good as looking at the regular records. And you can look at all of that type of record in the time frame instead of just one record that gets sent to you. (I find more people that way.) Alas, they don't have everything from every where available. (And in the next ten years, they project having all 3 million reels of microfilm scanned and on line. They're looking for indexing volunteers.) Karen
