Booking Required: No
Venue: Society of Genealogists
In June this year, the Society of Genealogists received 57,000 microfilms from FamilySearch (the genealogical arm of the Church of Latter Day Saints or Mormons). These films were formerly available at the London Family History Centre which is temporarily housed at the National Archives in Kew. They are now available for viewing at SOG. There is a significant amount of material for Ireland and Scotland, and for Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands. There are also a lot of Jewish records. Nearly 3,000 of the films are copies of all the wills probated between 1858 and 1925 in the Principal Probate Registry and Local District Registries in England and Wales. Else Churchill explains how to identify the films you want, how to order them, use supplementary finding aids and how to view them.
