Catalog entry gives DGS number but no indication of where to view

candacewilmot1

The Family History Catalog entry for Vermont, Addison, New Haven - Probate files indicates that the DGS identifier is 103578031. There is no icon indicating where this can be seen. Entering this number in the advanced image search form returns "No Results Found". How can I find this information?

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Short Answer: NOT all "Films", whether "Digitised" or NOT, are available 'On-Line' in 'FamilySearch'.

Please be aware and advised, that just because a "Film", has been "Digitised" (and, has a DGS number), DOES NOT mean, that the "Film" will be, available 'On-Line", to 'see'/access/view either, the

(1) "Index" (if there is one); and/or,

(2) any associated "Images".

in 'FamilySearch'.

In relation to "Films", under the "Format" Column:

IF, there is NOT "Magnify Glass" Icon; THEN, there is NO "Index", available 'On-line', in 'FamilySearch'.

IF, there is NOT "Camera" Icon (even, with a "Key" Icon, above it); THEN, there are NO "Images", available 'On-line', in 'FamilySearch'.

I know that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope that this gives you some, insight; and, perspective.

These are just the images - no index I believe. There are 291 results for location New Haven, Addison, Vermont in Search Images. The DGS is different there - 5541921 (for example). You may need to scroll/browse or Ctrl + F (Windows OS and search for 'probate' in the Results) for other DGS numbers to browse the complete collection.
