Hi Shirley, Thank you for sending that information. I was wondering if that was from the passport log or another document? I'm still learning and a little confused with all of the various sites so I wanted to be clear. Thank you for your help. Syndi On Friday, March 21, 2014 5:39:06 PM U

No, the LDS.org site is the part that deals with the religion. To deal with genealogy and family history, you go to the LDS's genealogy site at www.familysearch.org. Since they've redesigned their FamilySearch Web site, I have no idea of how to navigate to the FHC Locations page. A google search

Thank you Cheri. I will definitely look into it tomorrow. I know I visited our local LDS many years ago but all of their records were destroyed in a fire. I will see if they can direct me to another center. On Friday, March 21, 2014 1:21:10 AM UTC-3, Cheri Mello wrote: > FHC = Family Histor

That would mean he was born about 1843 and married around 1872. Those dates fall in the dead zone for the records I have. I would start looking at the marriage records of NS Estrela in Ribeira Grande for the marriage of Manoel and Maria. The records for Ribeira Grand are not on line yet. In the
