You say that you have 3 films but having a hard time trying to read them. What films do you have? What are the film numbers. Who are you looking for? Name? Time period, etc. I have several films at the FHC. Maybe I can help you.

Can someone please give me some guidance to using the microfilms? How do you do it when you only have an idea of the years a person maybe be born in. Looking for someone circa 1880 could mean looking at a few books for years before and maybe even after.... I have already ordered 3 films and i feel so anxious when i see so many of the pages grainy..and difficult to read (not because it's in Portuguese but the quality of the film...or pages) and i have no exact date to search. I am afraid i don't know how to really look at these microfilms for the information i need and feel discouraged that this is where it ends for me with the searching unless i take a trip to the Azores to spend my days at the archives there. I don't want to order any more microfilms until i understand how to search more effectively without spending 8 hour days at the library trying to decipher what i'm looking at. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
