Joseph you have brought up an interesting point.  I have been reading records for abt 12 years now but only copying what pertained to my family lines.  Then after the film has been returned I'd find there were other records that did tie into my lines. Because of this I decided I wanted to copy the complete films of a few key years.  I asked permission at my local history center here in Everett Wa. and they had no problem with it as long as I didn't intend to sell it.  I take my digital camera and have been able to completely copy 4 films so far and am working on two more, all from Jerez Zacatecas.  I have too many records to put into the Nuestros site so they are on Rootsweb.com.  I have over 63,000 names all online complete with the record if I have one including the source.  I won't include any records that I can't offer a source for.  I always ask persmission to post any record online if I get it from someone else, (like Marge Vallaza) and
give them credit as the source.

The actual films are not stored on the NR site. The film section is more of a
preparation for viewing your films. You can go to our film section that Arturo
has built and find out who might own that film at their particular FHC, or you
can click on it to see if there are Batch Records available for online viewing.
If there are batch records that will give you brief information about what the
individual records contain but should never be used without confirming by
looking at the film itself. Afterall the transcriber might not be a native
spanish speaker or might have just made a mistake. A very small percent of what
is available on film is actually transcribed and available as batch records.

Having said all of that if you have particular records that you feel would
benefit the group I'd encourage you to go to the albums area and under the
folder that is called something like Member Scans make up a folder for yourself
and into that folder you can enter some of your scans. I think it would be
against LDS policy for you to copy a whole films and then upload it to the
website but I think select records would not be out of order.

Center. In the film section of this site, how does the indexing come up? Is it
automatic or do I enter information that I have found? The center I went to
said I could download the film if I bring my own memory device. Do I upload it
here? Thank you
