Note: this is an offsite link; these are scanned images and will require considerable download time. No index.
I suggest you request a lookup from an index and then use these images.
Or if you suspect someone was missed by an index transcriber
this is a cheaper way to go than ordering the microfilm -- slow but it's the original.
