How can I access the LDS films? Are there any centres in England that would have access to the Irish films? If I could find a record of their marriage then I could order the certificate. I am guessing that Patrick was born about 1862 so assume that Kieran Phelan and Margaret Bergin were married around 1860. I know they lived just below Sragh in an area known as Goresgrove and when Paddy married Kieran bought the farmland at Sragh for him...the house at Goresgrove was passed on to William...that must be the one you mentioned. Thanks again. Jim

You go to it and order the film, it costs $4 for three weeks rental. They then get it from Salt Lake City, Utah where the Family History Library is located. When your center gets the film, you can then view it at the center. I don't know how many centers are in England, but check the phone book. Or you might want to get on the mailing list for your county in England, and ask where they are located near you and someone will probably be able help you. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus
