Arturo,
Thank
you so much for taking the time to answer me. I don't spend as much time
as I would like, or as I used to, researching my family.
I
haven't really been paying attention to the messages, because of my schedule, so
I was confused (as you can tell).
I
really do envy you all for the time and effort you put into your individual
genealogies and the time you take to help others.
Thanks
again,
Peggy
Peggy:
We
don't literally "have" the films in our possession... rather, they
are at
our local family history center on "indefinite" loan. They
put films
into such a status when someone has renewed the same film
three times...
basically meaning it is a critical or heavy use film
in that family
history center. I personally don't have any on such
status but
people who have been at this a lot do... After all it is
only $12 to get a
film to stay at your center... it is worth it.
Podcasts are audio clips
that can be downloaded to your computer to
be listened to and if you like
they can be synchronized to an iPod to
listen to on your way to work,
etc. If you don't have an iPod you
can still listen to them on your
computer.
