Celeste
Thank you for that information. Strange that I wasn't told of this in my
numerous phone calls to the UPEC office. I certainly understand privacy issues,
but I made it very clear that I only wanted to post records from a much earlier
time period. At any rate, the records I am offering to do lookups for are the
OLD records from approx 1880 - 1920 or so. Every Council has slightly different
years that have been microfilmed. The council numbers that are shown on my
website http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/fsocieties.html are the ones
pertinent to that time period. I have no access to more current records.
