William Bean - I've been Christened!

William Bean is my second great grandfather on the Bean side of the family.  I found information that his Christening record was extracted way back when by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  However, I don't have copies of the original.  I have found that looking at the original Christening records and searching through the entire film can produce a wealth of additional information.  This is the printout of the extraction:

This is the information you will use to locate him on the film. 

Project:

1) Order the film number 025462 from the family history library (use this link) (the films cost $7.50 to rent on a short term basis)
2) Find a Family History Center with a film reader
3) Search the film for the name "Bean"
4) If your Center has the capability (and let's pray they do), capture each image that could potentially be related to the Bean family; otherwise just write down all the information
5) Rejoice in your discovery!
