    2. Jill Glover
    3. Hi everyone, Have you come across this info at all?? I thought I'd send it on..it came via another mailing list.. Cheers, Jill Brisbane >>>>>> Hello List, As noted in Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter today there is a change in the policy for patrons requesting copies from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is an amazing FREE service that is now much better. The following is copied from the FamilySearch website: All requests for information copied from films, book pages, CDs, marriage, death or birth certificates, wills and/or deeds, etc. will be copied in digital format and emailed to patrons in a zipped PDF or JPG file format. There is no charge for this service if we are able to email to information to patrons. If a patron does not have an email address, we can mail the information to the patron using the US Postal Service. However, as much as possible, we will rely on emailing all requests for information through the internet. If patrons do not own a computer or do not have an email address, they can request to have the information emailed to their local Family History Center, where they can print the information at the center. Patrons should request copies by emailing their request to Photoduplication@familysearch.org . All requests MUST include the following information which is readily availabe if you locate someone in one of the indexed records: . Film or Fiche number . Item number . Name of Individual(s) referred to in the record . Title of the record . Name of parents, spouse, grantor, grantee, etc. . Event type (Birth, Death or Marriage) . Complete event date and place . Event place (county, parish, township, etc.) . Volume or page number . Registration or Certificate Number . Any other information that will help us locate your record. In addition, for those who may not be aware, when searching for records at familysearch.org there is a link to connect with the library, through the web, for a live chat. Obviously you will need to adjust for your time zone. <<<<<<
