Or can >this be done on the internet? According to the extracted record for his baptism on the IGI the microfilm from which it was extracted is 1157931, Christ Church Parish, Baptisms, 1637-1841. This should confirm his parentage. If you check the Family HIstory Library Catalogue for Barbados parish registers you should be able to find the microfilm for Christ Church marriages in that time period. The microfilms can be brought in from Salt Lake City to your nearest Mormon Family HIstory Centre. As Chris pointed out in his reply, there are no certificates of birth or death in this time period but rather records of baptism, marriage and burial. Hope that helps! Dorothy
