Roman Catholic parish registers for Schmilau, Posen, Germany; Posen, Germany; now Śmiłowo (Chodzież)
Hello,
I heard in a Familysearch lecture that all microfilms have been digitized.
However, I cannot find any digital copies for Smilowo.
FamilySearch Catalog: Księgi metrykalne, 1689-1945
Not even limited ones.
When will they be digitized? Thank you very much.

"All microfilm has been digitized" does not mean all registers are available from home. The registers belong to the record holders, and FamilySearch must abide by their contracts with the record holders. Contracts may prohibit access from all locations.
Checking the catalog for Schmilau, there are RC registers from 1689 through 1945, but they are restricted to view only in Salt Lake City. The reel icon does not mean "not digitized," rather, it indicates you cannot view it from any location other than the main library in SLC.
