:'''Note''' At times (c 2019 January) a message has been seen advising images are not available. However it appears this is an error (bug) and if you re-access the digital file, (perhaps this will be necessary multiple times) the usual message that it can be viewed at a FHC or Affiliate Library should eventually appear. This error message may also appear when you are attempting to access the films at a FamilySearch Centre. June 2019, this error appears to have been fixed, but this wording has been left in case the error reappears.
