I had a quick look to-day . It seems to be the period from c 1775 to 1890. If anyone has a person of interest I would be willing to keep my eyes open for them. You would have to give me a date since there are hundreds of names listed and some of the print is VERY faded. In some cases there are lots of details given--letters of recommendations, baptism certificates etc. The first part of the film seems to be devoted to those young men who were rejected due to failing certain school subjects.A lot of these fellows appear to be the products of wealthy families. Kathleen in Toronto ooroo If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door. Anon.

Certainly there are more individuals that I have an interest in than I dare to give the names of! Perhaps the Salt Lake reference number of this Register might be posted, so that others could make application. I also thought that FIBIS might have an interest, but I seem to have lost their website. Has anything happened to them in my off-line absence, or have I forgoten how to search? (My old 'bookmark' did not find them either). Yours Aye Andrew Serllon
