The old GS (Genealogical Society) book and film numbers refer to former catalog numbers.
Old GS Film Numbers[edit | edit source]
Old GS film numbers 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. 1958. FS Library Collection (These books have no call numers.)
