Kent,
Next trip to the Family History Library please look up: USA & Canada Film 25921 found at Family History Library SLC,UT.
I believe the name of the document you are looking for is, Annual Genealogical Report, Form-E. There are a number of reports on that film. I believe the first one is the oldest and lists Jacob Bachman and family. As I remember the report does not have a date on the first page, it may be missing the first page. It would be great if you can get the entire report. We can go through it and pick the latest date and that will be the year of the report. This will be the closest document to Emma's birth.
You could try the FHC computer system first and see if you can access it from the center's computer. They have reported that they have digitized all microfilm. If not you can use those new digitized microfilm readers. I would love to try one.
Could you copy the first few pages from a later report that has the first page intact. I would like to use both reports for a future class.
Thanks,
Mark
