How to get records
I am trying to get a copy of the pages with the last name of Tremblay and Trombley from the book "Genealogy of the French families of the Detroit river region" by Fr. Denise. I believe it's in the second volume. This might help: 977.43 D2d 1987 v. 2 copy 2
I am trying to prove my lineage for DAR. My ancestor patriot is Jean Baptiste Chapoton born 1721. His daughter Mary Joseph married Michael Tremblay. Over time the name was altered to Trombley. My great grandmother was Clara Lillian Trombley born May 17, 1895.
I need copies of the pages as mentioned above to help prove my lineage. Any help on how I can access the book and get copies would be appreciated. Thank you.

Now ...
The location being "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church ...
.
As the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA is still currently TEMPORALITY "Closed" (to the Public) due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...
.
THEN, can I humbly suggest that you consider trying the following ...
.
You could try one of the FREE 'On-Line' Consultations through the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church in, "Temple Square", Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Here is some links were you can access/book one of those Consultations ...

.I have seen/heard some good positive 'Feedback' from those who have used the service.

But ...
That said ...
.
Please be aware that you CANNOT be provided with actual "Images" from "Films"; whereas, I do not know what the situation is with/regarding "Books"; but, you may be able to get (or, confirm) the information/details/data that you desire.
.
'FamilySearch' may also be able to suggest where you can get a copy of the "Book", other than through 'FamilySearch'; but, also at some expense, directly from the Record "Custodian"; or, through an external "Commercial" Website (eg. "Ancestry_com"; "MyHeritage_com"; ETC; Etc; etc ... ).
.
Good Luck.
.
I hope this helps.

You provide some excellent advice on these pages and I know great gratitude is shown in some of the responses you receive.
However, I feel you are not always helping with your "copy and paste" comments concerning how to deal with queries during the current crisis - particularly in relationship to the closure of the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
I have checked-out your links (as shown below) and believe they are often inappropriate. True, you do advise that actual images will not be provided by these means, but I don't think help in locating specific records is meant to be a part of these online consultations, either.
I make these comments as:
(1) I think many FS users will encounter disappointment when they try to obtain detailed information on specific sources during one of their calls.
(2) I do not think it is fair to put volunteers / missionaries under increased pressure by suggesting they should deal with matters that users should be able to find just as easily through Google or, in this example, via the link Dennis Yancey suggests.
If you have firm evidence / examples of the help that has been provided through these consultations (which would not have been just as easily found elsewhere) please advise.
Your links and the comments (including my added remarks in brackets) that are made on those pages:
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Virtual_Research_Strategy_Sessions
“Research strategy sessions are designed to provide research guidance, methodology, and next steps rather than research or record-lookups.”

Many of our online microfilm images can be viewed without going to the Family History Library or a family history center. See which microfilm images are available on the FamilySearch Catalog.
(Here the suggestion is of self-help rather than FS personnel looking-up details on the caller's behalf.)

FamilySearch representatives are standing by to help you get started with your new FamilySearch account. As with all of FamilySearch, this service is provided at no cost (that’s right, free), so you can make the most of your account.
(This clearly refers to advice for beginners, not those advanced in their research.)

Thank you but I had already found your referenced links. These books are somewhat rare and unfortunately due to a request by the publisher they are not available to be seen on sites like ancestry, my heritage and others. Only the index is viewable.
As for purchasing, the lowest cost I have seen is about $600.00 and upwards of $1,200.00, out of my price and I'm sure many other genealogist.
I do appreciate you trying to help though.

Thank you. I have looked into this and the nearest alternate library is a couple hundred miles away and is also closed due to Covid-19. I'm beginning to believe that I started this research at a bad time but I'm not going to give up.

some libraries (that are open) may be willing to pull the book and look at it - and scan a page or two for you.
