Nuestros Ranchos films

Just wondering why there are so many films forsaken by the borrowers and have never been finalized so that we members could access them?

Some of those films have been in that state for so many years. I assume they have been forsaken by the borrowers. Any chance anyone of us could help them index them?

How can we help “edit” some of them. The “edit” requires that we should either have the film or have it on permanent loan. With FamilySearch.org offering the film photos online, why is this requirement necessary? How do we go about adding/editing these films?

too many to mention but I’ll name a few in the films I like to search. That’s why I was asking how to help or edit these films.

oh ok, and the tlaltenango Marriages 1627-1723, has some time gaps between records and is not in chronological order.

I’m confused as to what you mean. I took one of the film numbers you listed (443688), and did a search using that film number, and 5,782 results came up. The other films up to 443692 have also been extracted, but those after have not. In other towns I’ve looked at this is typical: extractions often go to about 1890, and not after that.

Some of the newer indexed records go later.

There are a lot of films that have not been extracted, of course. Considering that there are more than 100,000 rolls of microfilmed Mexican records, that is not surprising.
