Lanarkshire / Re: Map of St Kentigern's Cemetery, 951 Balmore Road, Glasgow please
« on: Saturday 16 February 19 16:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
The records are not indexed so there is no search facility as such.  However, if you have a date, or even a year for a death it's actually quite easy to locate.   Simply study the description of each film in the catalog summary  here https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1321853?availability=Family%20History%20Library and determine which film it will be on.   Some films are daily burial records and some are Lair registers that show all burials in that lair.  Start with the daily interments.   If you view the film using the "multiple image " option ( at left hand side of page ),  you will see occasional black separators, these give the contents of the following section of the film which is usually split into groups of years, so you can quickly jump through say 50 / 100 pages at a time to find the section and locate the year and the record within the year.  They are in chronological order.     Remember these are BURIAL dates, so you need to check a few days beyond the date of death or even more.  For example, I had an uncle killed in action in WW2, so it was 4 weeks later before his body was repatriated for burial.

Sorry if that seems like "teaching granny to suck eggs ".      Hope it helps, but if you get stuck PM me and I'll see if I can help.

Following some help I received via this thread I accessed the non indexed images on line at FamilySearch.   Most records for St Kentigern's are available, but there are four films not yet uploaded online.    I have made a request via FS for these to be scanned and put online.  No guarantee it will happen tho I cannot see copyright or privacy being an issue as more recent records are already available on FS.   If they appear I will post on here.

Requested records :-
Daily interment books, 1882-July 1909, British Film 1574797
Daily interment books, July 1909-March 1926, British Film 1574798
Daily interment books, March 1926-September 1943, British Film, 1574799
Daily interment books, September 1943-July 1967, British Film, 1574805

Just an update.   The remaining films have now been digitised by FamilySearch and are online

hi I can get the lair records on familysearch but just wondered if you could tell me is there a quick way of getting to what you want rather than search all  the pages one by one many thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / holocaust Paperwork in German
« on: Monday 05 January 15 18:48 GMT (UK)  »
hi was wondering if any one can help me i am researching my late husbands family he was in a concentration camp along with his siblings.
his mother was taken to the gas chambers
i have had quite a few papers come through but cant read them as they are in german
i cant afford a translater and google just does not seem to get it right and there is quite a bit to keep typing in
just wondered if there was another way

I can't see that they are going to get sticky about that. Apply without mentioning the previous request. If perchance they actually queried this then surely all you have to do is point out that you are the older sister and it's not your problem that they released them to another family member. In reality no matter what the rules say they would probably release these to anyone who could prove some reasonable connection.

Imber
thank you so much for answering me and i think i will do just as you say and see what happens again thank you

hi wonder if any one can tell me if i would get the full army records of my late father as my younger sister has already got them and will not let me see any thing she put herself in as next of kin so does that mean i have to apply as third party and not get all the information i would have thought all children would have been equal
