Film 165997 Incorrect

Lisa Marley

The contents of this microfilm say that it is Marriages, Hopkins County, Kentucky (earliest by Rev. J. Bourland) but it is not. It is bible records from all over the country, not related to Hopkins County, Kentucky at all.

We looked up film 165997 in the Catalog and came to this page: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A165997

There are 294 results. That indicates that there are all kinds of things on this film. 

Then we did a search for Hopkins, Kentucky and found this under marriages:

We looked in the Notes section of this page and read this, “In Cemetery inscriptions, church records, vital records, marriage records, wills, Revolutionary soldiers, and family Bibles / Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America. Vol. 12.”

We went to the film itself, by clicking on the camera icon, and looked for Volume 12. There are no obvious waypoints in this film, but we did find, by scrolling through the thumbnails, that the pages that are the beginnings of the volumes are mostly blank. We found Volume 12 on image 1520. It has a Table of Contents on image 1521 and what you want is described on that page. It says it is on page 3-4. Page 3 is image 1529.
