I would encourage you to go visit your local LDS Family History Library..They are open to non-members and there is no fee to visit them.If for some reason you would like to order a film then you do have to pay a fee for shipping back and forth.. I am sure you would appreciate any help they can offer..Do call ahead to find out their hours and location.. I work at the FHL in Alaska..and we love it when someone comes in for help on their family history..Another interesting note ..Here ( I am not sure about everywhere else) we can order a film and if we reorder twice it remains in the FHL on perminate loan..which makes it nice..I have done that for the films for Ely Holy Trinity and Littleport..and some others..I can then go back and check things if I pick up another relative in my ongoing research.. The film numbers that I quoted are the ones that will be used to order that particular film you are interested in. I would encourage anyone who is serious about their Family History take a trip to Salt Lake and plan to spend several days there working on your family lines.They have a wonderful staff and lots of computers and readers..and you can look at all the films for free there..I just returned from there and found some new information for one of my gg parents..You will find that they will be happy to help you find information or where to look for additional information. The British Floor is on B2..and it will surprise you at how many people are there seeking their ancestors as well..Good hunting..C.Olsen in Alaska.

Hi, I am after a couple of lookups from the Littleport registers if anyone has time & access Burial: Sarah Fincham Jun quarter of 1867- believe her husaband remarrys in 1868-in Mildenhall registration district Marriage: 6 feb 1846 of Edward Scotting & Ann Fincham- need ages & fathers Carl

Hi John Like you, I have only made a couple of visits to an LDS centre. I found it was manned by volunteers and, I think, asked for a (small) donation to use the facility. But then, we did not order anything in - there is certainly a charge for that, but again, quite small - a few dollars from memory. BUT - I have heard some centres are "better" than others and some volunteers "better" than others - by that I mean more helpful and knowledgeable. The same as every family history research centre I have been in, therefore. As to the physical arrangements - again it would vary. There is one in Melbourne that is I believe huge (I have not been there - about an hour's drive from me) and has stacks in - there is one not too far away from me in Australian terms that has quite a lot, but not a huge room - can cope with perhaps 8-10 people at a time - and a very close one (within a good walk) that although I could get the records there (probably by ordering) I have never heard of anyone using. A much smaller facility altogether, from the outside. Sort of like a little church overseen by a bigger centre, it appears. As to any talk of religion etc, I found none whatsoever and good help given me - which, as I knew little about what I was wanting then, had to be limited. There were fiche readers and film readers as I remember, and as there were two of us researching the same people (my second cousin and I) they were happy to give us a film each to look at, etc. A census as I remember - now, they are all on line, but not back in - what - 2003,4? At the centre I went to there were toilet facilities along the corridor but from memory, nowhere to get tea or coffee or anything. I suspect most centres all over the world will have the same variances as I have heard of here.

Hi John, Kim and other Listers, I agree entirely with the advice that has been sent to you by Kim and three other Listers ! I have not needed to use an LDS Centre more than once or twice as I live in a London suburb and I am able to use the Society of Genealogists Library for most of my research. But I have used it to access Irish films when researching my paternal Grandmother and her ancestry; I did this at the London Centre in Exhibition Road which is right opposite The Science Museum. The facilities and staff there were excellent, and no attempt at all was made at evangelisation - the only thing that may seem slightly strange on a first visit is to hear the more junior members of staff address the senior members as 'Elder' but you will soon forget about that. I also agree that the charges are very moderate. Good Hunting ! and Happy New Year !

John, they vary considerably, so you'd best check on the LDS website and give your local centre a ring to check opening times and to discuss if they have what you need or whether it needs to be hired in. The centre here in Hull has longer opening hours than most. I have always found the volunteers to be very helpful, some them may not be members of the church but just enthusiasts and I have never experienced any attempt at evangelisation or been asked for a donation. My experience is that there are good WC facilties and a kitchen for use if you want to take a sandwich and make a day of it. The library catalogue is accessible via the website but unfortunately, some counties are covered better than others. The last time I hired a film it cost £2.70 and it was available in the centre for a month. Centres generally have most of the films relating to their local area. If you are in London, the centre on Exhibition Road (back of the V&A) is amazing! Almost a full set of films for the whole country, internet access to major genealogical sites (Ancestry, etc) and loads of film/fiche readers. It also has extended opening hours. Happy hunting, Kim Hull, East Yorkshire

I would recommend you go to http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp and find your local centre (which will include a phone number) and give them a call. The answers to your questions may depend on what resources they have and what you want to see. For example parish registers would be on film and they would have to send away for those, so you would need to order them in advance. On the other hand if you want to access Ancestry or something like that they would probably have computers to allow you to do that. It would also depend on where you live and what region you are studying. If you live local you may find it easier to visit the local record office whoses local resources are likely to be more comprehensive. If you use the LDS in England there is a charge of £7.50 for every film that you have to order. Regards Peter

Thanks heaps for that.

My suggestion for you ..is this.. Go to the nearest LDS family history library and order the film for Guilden-Morden,Cambrigeshire..and see who might be on it..You might be able to pick up other members of the family as well There are two films that apply..one is FHL # 990375 item #2 and the other is 2358005 which covers the years 1599-1845 Births,Marriages,and Buriels.. I find that searching the parish church records sometimes provides me with a surprise and confirms what I am looking for..Usually they will have a machine to copy the record to a flash drive or a paper copy..

Hi Sally Thanks for your response. I have been searching on and off for years trying to find a birth for my James East on the LDS website but have had no success. I have even thought that perhaps James was a second name. But thanks also for you suggestion about Hertfordshire, that gives me something else to try. There seems to be some missing years between the children. Kind Regards Kath -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi All I'm new to the list and I'm an East researcher from Australia. I have been trying for several years to find some info on my 3xgreat grandfather James East born circa 1809 in the UK. He arrived in Tasmania as a free settler about 1827, as far as I know he was on his own, no other family members with him. I tried a different approach a few days ago, he had named his first daughter Ann Titmouse East, which I had always thought was a strange name to give a child. So I searched Titmouse marriages and found an Elizabeth Titmouse had married a John East on 20 May 1802 in GUILDEN MORDEN, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ENGLAND. So I am thinking that this could very well be a connection to my James East. Does anyone out there have any connection or info about this family? Regards Kath

Hi Kath These births are on the IGI. No James, though :o( 1. EDITH EAST - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 1805 Guilden Morden, Cambridge, England 2.

Hallo Thank you for your help. I will get the CDrom. All the other children were baptised. The family moved around a lot. I will hope the children were baptised in St Ives. Have a nice Christmas. 2009/12/15 David <david11000carca@yahoo.fr>: > Possibly the reason that no-one replied to your message on the Hunts board is that no-one who follows that list has the CDrom of St Ives baptisms. If no-one on this list is able to help, it's available from Hunts FHS at the giveaway price of £5-90, or £20-90 which includes burials and marriages, and more besides. See http://www.huntsfhs.org.uk/cgi-bin/hfhsbookstall.cgi. > > An alternative is to use Huntingdon Records Office research service (but buying the Cdrom baptisms is cheaper) - of course you run the risk that the children weren't baptised in St Ives, or weren't baptised at all -- Jean Hunter Kent, England
