I was forwarded this info from another list & I apologise if it's already been posted!

To find Batch #'s

1. Go to Custom Search, select Family History Library Catalogue.
2. Select Place search
3. Enter the location
4. Select Church Records-Indexes
5. Choose the church of interest
6. Press View Film Notes, to see the records available & the years covered.
7. Press View Title Details, to see the batch number(s)

To convert the batch #'s to the form required in the Custom Search,
-Remove the hyphen, e.g. 08832-2 becomes 088322
-if there's no letter at the front, put an M at the front for marriage records or either a C or P for birth or christening records.

Now go to Custom Search & enter your surname & the batch number & you've got it!!
As an additional tip it helps to have two Familysearch pages open in your browser & simply copy & paste the info between them.

Cheers

Jim in a damp & foggy very Scottish looking Tasmania!
