How do I access microfilm that isn't digitized, but available for viewing at Family History Library?

Title: Registri ecclesiastici, 1742-1899; Author: Chinese catholic. Parrocchia di Gerra (Verzasca, Ticino [Switzerland]); Location: Family History Library; Collection/Shelf: International B1 Floor Film; Film: 1751139 Items 1-6; Image Group Number: 8126894.

I am searching for the baptism records for brothers, Vincenzo Lawrence Massera born 19 July 1870 and Geremia Massera born 15 May 1873 in Gerra (Verzasca, Ticino, Switzerland). Their parents were John and Appoloma (Vosti) Massera.

As I live in Tennessee, I am unable to access the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. What assistance can you provide, and/or suggestions for accessing. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    There are sometimes volunteers who offer to do look-ups in SLC. Failing that, you can hire an outside researcher to do the work for you. Cyndi's List is a good place to find a researcher local to SLC: https://www.cyndislist.com/us/ut/professionals/

    Good luck!

    And, just to clarify, the reel icon does not indicate that the microfilm is not digitized. ALL microfilm has been digitized.

    The reel icon now means that the digital images are not available to view from the account/location accessing the catalog. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-notes-or-film-digital-notes-in-the-catalog
