''British Census Returns''. When you have the piece and folio number from an index you can look up the film number on the Family History Library catalog and get a copy of the specific page without having to order the film in or travel to London! All for $2 each (see below).<br>

''Parish Registers''. This method works when you can specify the film number, and either the page number or the exact date when the item is in date order. It will not work for pre-1812 films unless you have the page number as items can be in a crazy order (see below).<br>

''English and Welsh Wills'' from 1858 to 1925 are available by this method. You need to specify the name, date and court of probate, which are obtainable from the indexes (also on microfilm to 1956, and on fiches in several centres). Most wills are 1-3 pages so $2 U.S.(about £1.20) per page is a lot better than £5 per will charged by the regular source! (see below).<br>

The FHL has a huge variety of microfilmed ''land records for North America.''<br>
This method of access to the vast holdings of the FHL is particularly appreciated by those who are patrons of small FamilySearch Centers (FSC). The larger Centers have reader-scanners and long runs of index films. For the latter, first get copies of index pages, then use these to decide which films to order using this method, or get from other sources if the originals have not been microfilmed.
