Victor,

The only thing I know about [Film Number] Field is what it says in help:

"If a record contains both a batch number and a film number, then use 
only the batch number for your search. Film number searches are valid 
only when there is no batch number."

And as far as [Serial/Sheet Number] I have only ever seen it to be 
[00].  So I don't think that is any help.

Personally, I have never used either field in my searches.

Angie

P.S.  I knew you were jk ... ;-)

Alicia,

Yes there was some signifiance in that name.  December 1931 was the 
400 year anniversary to the Virgin de Guadalupe.  So I imagine all 
the children in the early part of 1932 were given that name.  Funny 
you should bring this up since about a week ago, I was talking with 
my uncle who was born in 1931 and has the name Guadalupe.  
Anyway...someone else started talking to us and he asked my uncle 
were you born in the year of the Guadalupe's.  My uncle laughed and 
said he was born before.  Later when the man left, I asked my uncle 
what was that all about.  He explained to me that most of the 
children born in 1932 were given the name of Guadalupe in honor of 
the Virgin de Guadalupe.

Hope this helps...

Angie,

Thanks.  I was just joking!
And speaking about research tips, I don't have a clear idea what's the
purpose of the fields [Serial/Sheet Number] and [Film Number] in the
IGI search page.  Have you found any use for those?

I've tried entering data into the [Film Number] field in a similar
fashion to the [Batch Number] as some recommend field but nothing happens!

Thanks for the info!

After all the information you have given me, your honor was never in
