--- I took a look at the microfilm; I would make it Hupp rather than Happ.
The original records were in German, but the only information included is
what is shown in the index.

--- 1884096 is for 1862, not 1882. The number of the film you need is shown
in the extract that you provided. It's 1897596. And has been noted, yes,
it's the Kirchenduplikat.

--- The book does not index individual names. It sorts the films into
parishes and years. You would use it to determine which microfilms have
Shitomir, and so on.
