Known Issues
NOTE: To determine which digital records are likely to be found within a collection or to find missing images, see, Using Film Notes in the Catalog to determine the content of a final browse point in Historical Records (56000).

NOTE: Most missing records are available on microfilm. See Ordering a microfilm or microfiche (55678). To view films, see Finding a family history center near you (54018).

Question #1: Some records are missing. Where can the records be viewed? Answer #1: See answers below for information about known missing records and respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location:


 * A recent rework of the collection incorporated hamlet names into the City or Town level. The records are found by using the Catalog’s Keyword search by the name of the hamlet. Review the search results and annotate the larger city name needed to browse. For example: the records for the hamlet of Canach will now be found under Lenningen.
 * Rosport &gt; Décès 1815-1823 Naissances 1797-1888 is missing the records for the village of Osweiler. Order Film 1921599 to view the records for Osweiler births, deaths and marriages 1797-1823.

Question #2: The Event Type and Year Range (browse point) title does not properly reflect the actual digital record content. How can I determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection? Answer #2: The list of known browse point discrepancies describes the event type or year range existing in the collection:


 * Diekirch &gt; Naissances, mariages, décès 1893-1902 should be relocated as Echternach &gt; Tables décennales 1893 -1903.
