Where could I find the Kirchenbuch for the Verbandsgemeinde of Selters?
A few months ago, I had finished reading the Kirchenbuchduplikat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Selters, ranging from 1817-1874. I am very curious about the Kirchenbuch, though it is unavailable online, it is on microfilm. I attempted to access the microfilm at the Mesa Center in the visitors center but the staff had told me that it (microfilm) was removed, even though it had stated that it was available at the center. They told me I could contact the FHL in Salt lake City or travel there, but I cannot contact them at the moment, nor can I hire someone. I also tried looking on Matricula but they only had Catholic records in Latin, and my family members in Germany were Lutheran and Evangelical Christian Denominations. Is there a way to access the Kirchenbuch? Perhaps going to a different center?

@SebastianHumrick All microfilm has been digitized. If you see the reel icon, the record cannot be viewed from your location. See this definition of the icons - https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-notes-or-film-digital-notes-in-the-catalog
If you see the reel icon, with a location of Salt Lake City, you can try to find a volunteer or a paid service to look at the records for you.
Good luck!

Hello @SebastianHumrick,
Is this what you are looking for:
The films have been digitized and are available online. Simply click on the camera icon under the word "Format" at the bottom of the catalog record.

Hey there, unfortunately, I am looking for the Kirchenbuch, which was written before the Kirchenbuchduplikat. Though I appreciate the effort, I will look through it.
