Following a recent spot check on FamilySearch, I noticed the "camera
and key" icon has reappeared for a number of LDS films of vital
records held in the Polish State Archives. This icon means the scans
can again be viewed in LDS Family History Centers and Affiliated
libraries; since last November, these films were viewable only in Salt
Lake City or in a few libraries who happened to have kept the film
rolls.

I did not check availability systematically, and only for a few
communities in Posen Province; all checks were positive. I strongly
suggest checking your favourite film's status before setting off for
your nearest FHC.

I am trying to find a female relative who grew up in Russia but moved to
Israel. Another relative had contacted her in about 1991 or 1992 by
telephone. The woman's first name is Alla, and she was involved in the
medical profession. She lived in Haifa and her phone number was
048120393. She was born about 1941.

That phone number does not currently connect to her. Does anyone know
of a reverse telephone directory for the years 1991-1992 for Israel?
The current 411 reverse dierectory for Israel only does current phone
numbers. Or is there any other way to find this person? I do not have
a surname for this person. Her mother's maiden name was Zhirmunsky. I
do not know her maiden name, or her married name.

I have written to Bezeq for help in this matter but have so far not
recieved a reply.
