== Can't Find the Source on the Card? ==

''Updated Call Numbers''. About 80 percent of the sources in the Early Church Information file have a valid call number listed on the card. Some sources that list only a book number are now available on microfilm. Also, some call numbers have changed. Check the Family History Library Catalog to find an omitted or updated call number.  

''Missing Call Numbers''. About 20 percent of the cards in the file do not list a call number for sources they reference. This section explains how to find most, but not all, of the missing call numbers.  

1. '''''County Marriage Records'''''. About half the cards without call numbers are from county marriage records. Most of these marriage records can be found in the Family History Library Catalog by doing a Place Search and reviewing the catalog entries for Vital Records (marriages).

2. '''''Nauvoo Baptisms'''''. If a card does not have call numbers but includes the phrase "Bapt. Nauvoo" or "Nauvoo Bapt.," it refers to the records of baptisms for the dead. Locate the records on microfilms in the FHLC under the title: [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=228288&disp=Baptisms+for+the+dead%2C+1840-1845++ Baptisms for the dead 1840-1845]
