Dear Familysearch Community,

The following church records are not available unfortunately: (Film: 2388441 Item 7, Item 8, DGS: 5225505). 

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1367930?availability=Family%20History%20Library

I think these records/images are not in the protected time area, could you please make them available to the public?

I would like to research in Vágsellye / Šaľa in this early period, but now I'm hitting walls.

Please help! Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Richard Kedves

I was just able to access a random sampling, from home, without a problem.

It does appear that the 1st 2 items on that list have not yet been digitized, and the last 4 items have not been indexed so are not searchable. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1367930

Hi Aine,

Thanks, meanwhile, I have received the "right" answer from: Julia Szent-Györgyi 

"The problem is that FamilySearch enforces privacy laws at the "whole film" level: if, out of the hundreds or thousands of images on a film, there's a single restricted one, then the entire film is restricted.

DGS 5225505, in addition to the two items from Sala, also contains images from the Jewish register from Šahy, Slovakia (formerly Ipolyság, Hont, Hungary): items 1-3 with marriages up to 1947, and items 4-6 with deaths up to 1938. Slovakia's privacy law is a uniform 100 years, so unless/until FamilySearch comes up with a different methodology, these images will not be available online for another 26 years."

Best wishes!
