Re: searching LDS Records #general

Shalom Amit,
I just returned >from Salt Lake and spent 4 days looking at Polish records in the Family history library. There is an Icon that toggles between a full size image and thumbnails. If you have the film number >from JRI Poland or another source, you should have some or all of the following information: Year, Type of record (Birth Marriage or Death), Town, District (if a large city such as Warsaw) and an AKT number. The first picture in the film should have something in English in capital letters saying film #, the second one will have the town, year and district(s) -and the possibly birth marriage and death (for me this was in Polish). If this is the right town, year, district and type of record, look for the AKT number - which may be a numeral or written out in words in the relevant language - I missed some last week because 95% of what I was looking for had numerals - and it took all week to figure out that the others had the number written out in words. If it is not the right year or something else is wrong, look at the thumbnails until you see another thumbnail that looks like the second one with the label. When you find the right year, district and record type search for that number. Be sure to check the record for your names, because sometimes there may be two or more records with the same number. Good luck to you. Also occasionally I found that the film number was wrong, If you do not find the record, search their catalogue and see if it might be on another film.

I think I have located the right film on FamilySearch.org. My question is, how do I find the exact record among the 485 photos in there? Is there a clue or should I just search one by one? Thank you, Amit Naor Israel
