Hi

I thought that the copies were the ones in Mexico City at the Archivo de la
Nacion? At least that is what I heard a long time ago. I never heard that
each church was to get one. Also, do you mean $3.00...30.00?

Well I was really surprised, as most people here in Los Altos, when I first
found out that the Mormon Church was granted authorization to microfilm all
these records that we've been so gratefully using for our research.

When I first went to the Parrish in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco (one of the
oldest in the Los Altos region) they told me that one of the conditions for
the Mormons to microfilm their records was that they would give each church
a copy of every film that was created. According to the people here, this
never happened. Instead, they were told recently that they could purchase
each film for $3000 dollars. I'm not saying this is what actually happened
or that it didn't, just that this is what I was told in Jalos.

How much you wanna bet that the Mormon Church would never let anyone else
view their Church records for Baptisms, marriages or otherwise?

With "tongue in cheek", maybe the Pope could retaliate by re-baptising the
dead Mormons to Catholicism?

Hi there Mickey ,

The films can be purchased in Mexico City from I believe the Archivo General Nacional for about $ 350.00 pesos not dollars , that's about $ 35.00 US dlrs.
You can do it via mail but it's not recommended . If you know of anyone visiting Mexico City they can go there and purchase them .

Take care,

Mickey, you said "You can do it via mail but it's not recommended". What is the reason for that?

Hi there Daniel ,

You can go to www.agn.gob.mx and go to DISPOSICIONES DIVERSAS and clik on " Cuotas de Recuperacion .

HOWEVER I DON'T RECOMMEND IT ! Just about all the people I know that have sent money to buy films have been dooped .
They always say that the money never arrived . Your choice though .

Good luck ,
