Please forgive me if I sound ignorant...does this mean I would get an actual microfilm from the library? How does one view a microfilm at home? Are the Acores also available this way? If so, would the lookup be Portugal, Acores, Ilha Graciosa, Nossa Senhora da Luz? How about cities on the mainland? I know I am getting ahead of myself but this is getting me wired up!! Thank you for your help. Mary

Mary, The microfilms that you order from LDS have to be viewed at the LDS library. There are local ones all over the world. Where do you live...I'll be happy to look and see if there is one near you. You must have a microfilm reader to view the microfilm...they have these at the local LDS centers...so no, it cannot be done at home. Here is the link to familysearch (the LDS website)...just look around, and don't be afraid to ask questions...we were all in your shoes at one time!!
