Is there a lookup service? I need someone to look at a microfilm of the 1950 Rio de Janeiro phone book. Thanks.

The FHL does not offer look ups...but several people in Facebook Groups like Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness will do it for you. Are you sure the phone book is in their collection? A phone book from Brazil is not listed in their catalog: 9 results (0) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Church records ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Civil registration ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Civil registration - Indexes ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Colonization ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Description and travel ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Emigration and immigration ( 10 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Emigration and immigration - Indexes ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Minorities ( 1 ) Brazil, Rio de Janeiro - Naturalization and citizenship ( 1 )

The missionaries that manage the reception lines and areas are really great for helping with that sort of thing. If you give then a call or go by the center they can give some good specific direction and help!
