Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your kindness and help.Living in Malta is a problem as we have no lds library on the island. My main interest in the chapel is due to the fact i just got 2 marriage certificates for 2 sisters both married in the chapel 1879. There name was Horn. Would baptisms have taken place there ? and would the family have been long standing members of the church ? Thanks a million. Keith in Malta. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MBass1943@aol.com> To: <ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 11:45 AM Subject: Re: [HRT] Tring baptist chapels > > In a message dated 05/05/2005 21:04:54 GMT Standard Time, > ficus@euroweb.net.mt writes: > > Hi, > can anyone please help ?
