You called this a FICHE but it seems that it is really a FILM. The difficulty you remarked on in reading same, is due to the content and sequence of the original Registers I suppose, and not due to the LDS <filming> of same. LDS having many millions of films, and a backlog of records not yet handled by them, are not likely to invest time on interleaving helpful notations to assist the user. We hafta both navigate and drive ourselves!! As the Catalogue shows, that film has 11 items but only two are for Balmaghie. It's often a good move, to print the catalogue page before reading the film. The catalogue is in three formats: fiche, DOS-CD and WINDOWS-CD. The FH Centre I use has all three versions on open access to the public. Cheers......... ALISTAIR
Alistair Thanks. Just keep your fingers crossed for me that my Miller entries are on the film - otherwise I'm stuck.
