Question #1: I get a message “This image is viewable to signed-in members of supporting organizations” for these records even when I am signed in. How can I view these records? Answer #1: FamilySearch has limited rights, granted by the record custodians, to publish some images for viewing online. Images for this collection are only available for viewing to members of the supporting organization (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

If you have an LDS account and are not able to view images after signing in, it may be due to a registration problem, not an image access problem. Please call 1-866-406-1830 in the United States, or contact Patron Services at [mailto:support@familysearch.org support@familysearch.org]. Please include a brief description of the problem and steps taken thus far to resolve the issue.

Question #2: Some records are missing. Where can they be viewed? Answer #2: See answers below for information about known missing records and their respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location.
