Haiti, Port-au-Prince, Civil Registration - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Question 1
Question 1: I am having trouble viewing records from Ouest &gt; Port-au-Prince &gt; Naissances, 1862 jan-déc. Is there another filming of these records? Answer 1: There appears to be a protective film (or waxed paper) over the records that has ‘air-bubbles’ preventing a clear view of the records. Unfortunately, the camera operator can only film the records in their current condition. These records were filmed digitally and therefore are not available on microfilm.
