  • Microfiche and what to do with them???

    Hello

    I am having a dumb moment....I have found a place to order Microfiche for a particular Parish where I believe many ancestors lived.
    It comes as a CD

    Erm.......what do I do with it?

    Does my PC read it?
    Do I have to take it to the library and use their Microfiche reader?

    Many thanks

    If it is a CDrom your computer will read it- guess it has been copied onto the CD from a microfiche of the parish records.

        I ordered microfiche from a family history society and took it to the local library to read..having asked first incase someone saw me put it back in my bag...
        This was a transcription. -Helpful. but I prefer copies of the actual register, so that I can make my own mind up about information shown.

          I've got records from one parish which are a mixture of actual microfiche and a CD with pictures of the microfiche on. Naturally the pictures on the CD are magnified up so you can read them on the computer. Just transcriptions but better than nothing.
