The "Free website" item referenced is a raw microfilm roll posted online, where the first item in the roll is the text associated with this source. The content does not appear to be searchable, but can be browsed and read. This content was produced in 1973, filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah in Salt Lake City. The filming was NOT done on the original text, but rather a reproduction produced by Unigraphic of Evansville, Indiana in 1972.

The text title page indicates "Volume 1", but unsure if there is a second Fayette County-specific volume.
