Digital Collections at Family Search in Catalog but not on Historical Records Collection Page
Not everything available digitally at FamilySearch appears in the “Historical Records Collection” on their website–often the catalog will indicate that the film has already been replaced by digital images.
If you see something significant (other than just a handful of rolls of microfilm), let me know at michael.john.neill@gmail.com and I’ll mention it here.
For example, many Baltimore County, Maryland, probate records are available digitally but one has to search the catalog to find them. They don’t appear in the link on the “Historical Records Collection” page.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Birth and Death Records from 1865-1912
Cincinnati Birth and Death Records from 1865-1912 are online at the University of Cincinnati Archives. It is a collection of over 528,000 records.

Make A Practice Database for Your Software
Before trying out all the bells and whistles of your genealogical software–particularly the deleting, merging, and correction portions–consider making a practice database. That’s the best way to experiment and try things out without having to go back and fix the errors. Of course learning how to fix errors is important, but those lessons are sometimes best learned when the database or file is not your “good one.”
