And a little reminder that FamilySearch has millions of scanned records online (the list above shows that), that at present are not indexed. These are viewable, but will not come up by typing details in the search boxes.
So to get to them, go to their full listing of Collections (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list), and then you can scroll down to find what you’re interested in, and you’ll see many that say “Browse Images”. From there click on te relevant Collection, and if there’s digital images they’ll come up, and you can page through.
Thanks for the tip-off!
