Answer #3: Both waypoints Matrimonios de españoles 1809-1830 and Matrimonios 1825-1833, 1843-1857 contain the full contents of the Film 600887.

Question #4: In Tlalpujahua &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen, there are two waypoints where Image 1 is Film 650009 and two waypoints where Image 1 is Film 650010. Would you clarify this problem? Answer 4: The duplicate film numbers are explained as follows: • Tlalpujahua &gt; Nuestra Señora del Carmen &gt; Bautismos de castas 1894-1898 Image 1 of 672 shows Film 650009 (Bautismos de castas 1880-1885).
