Why are the number of image sets for a community different at home from the Family Search Center? For example, Berwick on Tweed, Northumberland shows as 61 sets at home and over 600 sets at the FSC.

    Without seeing the details of the specific DGS numbers, the difference is probably between those with restricted viewing rights and those with unrestricted access.

    I'm at my Affiliate Library this afternoon. Logged in there, I see 84 image sets. If I check from home, there are 61 sets available at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

    I think a difference such as you show is probably reasonable, but over 600 is the difference here in Qualicum Beach and I dont know why one Family Search Centre would have such a disparity over another. I'm counting all the images listed - often multiple listings for a single microfilm.

    Salt Lake City has access to all record sets. FS Centres/Centers have access to many. Affiliate Libraries have access to fewer record sets.

    All FSCs have the same level of access.
