Surnames: Bradford,Galloway, Steel Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3YF.2ACIB/1967.1.2 Message Board Post: LDS is a short name for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - commonly called Mormon. I am LDS, as was my ancestors, and the Church has the largest colletions of genealogical information in the world as far as I know. You can get into LDS records by going into Family Search.com. Film can be ordred at any LDS Family History Center. If you are interested I will find the nearest FHC to you. I am descendant of Gov. William Bradford and have much information I'd be glad to share.
