 * Microfilm: Before the internet, much of the data now found in FamilySearch was available on millions of roles of microfilm. FamilySearch has been digitizing the microfilm and announced in September 2021 the completion of digitizing 2.4 million rolls of microfilm with information on 11.5 billion individuals.  The process of making these images available is ongoing and we have a few rolls of microfilm that have not yet been released to be viewed online.
