Russia, Tver Church Books - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Question 1
Question 1: I get a message “Image not available” even after I have registered and signed in. Why can’t I view these images? Answer 1: FamilySearch has limited rights, granted by the record custodians, to publish images from this collection for viewing online. Images for this collection are only available for viewing to members of the sponsoring organization (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

FamilySearch, however, has other resources which are available to all researchers. These online records, and many others for this area, are available on microfilm at the FamilySearch Library and some FamilySearch Centers. It is best that you check with your local FamilySearch Center about whether they have the films if you wish to view.

Another resource to visit is the Genealogical Research Community. Go to the link to register, and then scroll down to Russia. There are two communities, one for English and one for Russian.

If you have a Church account and are not able to view the images after signing in, it may be due to a registration problem and not an image problem. Please call 866-406-1830 in the United States or contact patron services at [mailto:support@familysearch.org support@familysearch.org]. Please include a brief description of the problem, and steps taken so far to resolve the issue.
