Westmorland, Deed Registry Books - "folder not yet available to view"?

Hi,

I'm trying to review some Deeds in the Westmorland, New Brunswick Deeds. Most of these films work great, but when I got to book WW, there is a notation that the folder is not available to view. If I click on the camera icon, I'm taken to a completely different record group. This problem exists for books XX, YY, ZZ, A3 and B3 as well.

Here is an image from page 2 of https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1469012?availability=Family%20History%20Library so you can see what I'm refering to.

Note - using the "view digitial images ..." at the top of this page doesn't include the earlier record books. Using that link, and choosing Westmorland Deed books - the earliest volume is C3.

Is there another way to get access to these records? I'd really like volumes WW-ZZ.

Thank you,

    Yes, the films you reference all appear to relate to records of the Church of Scotland. I don't know why these appear instead (via the camera item), or whether - post Jan. 13 2012 - there has been any change in the availability of the New Brunswick Deeds records. Either way, I don't see how you could reach the material you wish to see via the Catalog.

    An extra problem at present lies with the Catalog being locked for any changes / corrections, whilst work on a new version is being undertaken.

    The screenshot below shows an extract from a search I made in the Search / Images section of FamilySearch for Westmorland, New Brunswick records. Maybe scrolling through the pages might lead to what you want - I didn't have time to check myself.

    Update - I just took a quick look and it seems records past UU are not available via Images, either.

    I checked some other resources to see if the records might be available elsewhere. FindMyPast has the New Brunswick, County Deed Registry Books has a browse-only collection with the notice "Images copyright and served from FamilySearch." https://search.findmypast.com/search-world-images/new-brunswick-county-deed-registry-books-image-browse

    I do not see the volumes WW-ZZ.

    The New Brunswick Provincial Archives has a searchable index. https://archives.gnb.ca/Search/RS686/Default.aspx?culture=en-CA which may be of use.

    Thanks - the New Brunswick Provincial Archives index is for land grants - I've found all of those I need (at the moment). I'm looking for some deeds - and I have the indexes from Family Search...

    I'm hoping someone from FamilySearch can determine what the issue is and maybe update the links.

    You'll need to get the attention of a member of staff or a moderator who can call staff to view.

    And, I expect nothing substantive will happen until the rework of the catalog that @Paul W mentioned.
