[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Parish Records Index questions

[Rose Ingram]

Hi Chris,

I See you are on a roll with your research.

All the names you see on the Parish Records Index are indeed found in the 
records filmed by the LDS.  99% of the names are found in 
Lutheran/Evangelical records.  Every name in any given year was extracted, 
for births, marriages and deaths.  You will need to order in the films you 
need, to determine names of parents, etc.

If you look at the Lodz records in the Library Catalog, you will see the 
film numbers covering various years worth of records.   Not all films have 
been indexed, just a handful to the point.

By the way SGGEE has 6 Lodz films (supplied by the Salt Lake People) that 
need indexing, anyone interested in doing these?
