SLC

Raymond,

The number for the B1 (International Floor) Attendants window, where you
order the microfilm is 801-240-2334. They'll help you out there.

I actually start searching the state of interest with all of the combinations of names that I can think of. As many of you know there are letters that are interchangeable like Z & S, V & B etc... I was looking for an Alvares on pilot. FAmilySearch.org and finally found the individual of interest spelled as Flvares so when you look in databases do not expect to find the names spelled correctly. As soon as I am finished with the state I search the whole country.

Not only that but sometimes the first names are wrong. My grandfather was
registered as Cirilo Chavez and his name was Daniel Chavez. I did not
find him in the index but as I went through the entire year, record by record,
I found twp Cirilo Chavez and one of them the parents were my great
grandparents. It happened that same day so the judge just got confused or
whatever and wrote Cirilo again.

I haven't been following this thread until just now but I wanted to
add that my father had an Aunt Sara, whom I never met but had heard of
all my childhood. I could never find any documentation on her but
when I did, in Texas Deaths 1890-1975 in the Family Search Pilot, my
great-grandmother's name was spelled Francius rather than Francisca
and my great-grandfather's name was spelled Senobio, whereas, I've
also seen in official documents as Zenobio and Cenobio. However, in
the official death certificate, my great-grandmother's name is spelled
correctly. Apparently, it's the transcriber who couldn't read it
properly. Marge:)

I have found many people doing exactly the same thing. My mistakes at first were from my lousy typing. I soon learned that my lousy typing was a gift from heaven. I have also found family members that were from aguascalientes registered in encarnacion de diaz.

Raymond,
You mentioned "trying to isolate possibilities". Hate to throw in one more thing, but I just wanted to share what happened to me recently. By sheer luck (wrong key stroke)I found several records of relatives in Bajio de San Jose which is part of Encarnacion de Diaz, Jalisco. These were family members that through oral family history were "from Aguascalientes". I believe that I never found them before because I would filter out "Jalisco" for that side of the family. Sort of unrelated but maybe helpful, I also found records by NOT correcting misspelled names and letting the search go through.
