missing scan

PawelSikora1

Hello, I'm sorry if my question repeats itself, but I'm new here. I am looking for an entry that is in the indexes but does not contain scans Many people in the "family" have this entry last in their tree. 

If there is an index and the exact number of the film / roll, can I look for extra scans somewhere? It's about this entry:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.filmNumber=1791538&count=20&offset=0&m.defaultFacets=on&m.queryRequireDefault=on&m.facetNestCollectionInCategory=on

best regards, Paul

@PawelSikora1, @Kim Moore has given a great description of going to the FamilySearch Catalog to get more details about whether or not you can view images of a film. Knowledge articles from our Help Center can help you to learn about how to search in the Catalog when you have a film number for the records you wish to view. Please click the Help icon at the upper right of the FamilySearch pages and then click Help Center in the popup. Type: Catalog Film Notes in the typing field at the top of the next page to access the knowledge articles that describe how search in the catalog and how to understand the search results page.

As @Kim Moore explained, you may not see a camera on the catalog results page meaning the digital images are not available to view online at the present time. Any restrictions with viewing images are put in place by record custodians who determine how they want to have their records made available.

Our goal is to make as many records available as possible, and we make an ongoing effort to work with record owners. For this reason, please feel free to continue to check in the catalog since permissions can change. We hope this information from our knowledge base will help you as you continue your family history research.

Your question isn't 100% clear but if I'm interpreting it correctly you are trying to see scans of film 1791538. When you are on family search select Search and then Catalog. In the middle of the page it says "Film number" so select that and put in your number. In this case you get 2 different hits that contain this film (along with other film numbers). When you look at each of these hits you can see that the little picture under format is of a microfilm, which means images aren't available at this time. (A camera would mean you can view the pictures, unless it has a key above it which means you can only view them from within a family history center). My understanding is that the church is in the process of converting all microfilms to digital formats that eventually will be viewable. Just takes time. Hope that answers your question.

The two catalogue records for film 1791538 are https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/644745 and https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/644860

If you look in these links you can see that this film has a DGS number which means that the microfilm is already DIGITISED. The fact that it has a microfilm icon means that for some reason relating to copyright or date restrictions FamilySearch is not permitting the digitised microfilm to be viewed. This perhaps may be the situation indefinitely, although sometimes restriction conditions change.

If you are interested in one particular record, perhaps you could see whether the Family History Library Look up Service could assist you
