The old GS (Genealogical Society) book and film numbers refer to a former catalog numbering system. They were five-digit numbers followed by a one- to four-digit part number. Here are several ways to convert the old GS film numbers into the current FS Library film numbers.
- Use the "Old microfilm number conversion" charts in this wiki.
- Search the The FamilySearch Catalog by the locality or author of the record on the film.
- Consult List of all film call numbers in the Genealogical Society from 1938 to April 1958, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Genealogical Society, Library Division. Available on fiche.
- Use the old CD version of the catalog in the DOS version of FamilySearch. This version is available in the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City and may be available in a FamilySearch center near you. The center staff can help you convert the number.
If you need to convert an old GS book number, consult one of these resources, most of which are available on film or fiche.
