I have been trying to search in a record set, Scott County Iowa Deeds 1838-1932 (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/431412). Almost every film has the restriction that "THis image is unavailable for viewing at this time." I have been trying more than a month to see these records. A few of the actual deed books are available at a FS affiliate library, but NONE of the index books are available - they are all "images are unavailable" so the deed books do me no good (I do not know when my person bought or sold property - I have about a 14 year range" and I can't read through 3500 images trying to find at least 2 deeds.

How can I access these records. Or how can I get FS to figure out what the problem is and fix the switch to make the images available?

Thanks,

Mary

    Hi Mary, (I know your name well!)

    There is a known problem with some record sets. We've had a few threads on the topic. Some have been repaired, but it may take some time to get all the glitches ironed out.

    @Sam Sulser @Maile L FYI please and thanks.

    Thank you. I requested from FS a month ago that they look into this, and I have received no response.

    Maile,

    Thank you for whatever you did. I was able to access the index films and deed books and I found the deeds I was looking for. And I got great information!

    Thanks,

    Mary
