Re: BMD Index
In Response To: Re: BMD Index ()

Hi Janice.
The list on all births, marriages and christenings I have for all the Kermode on the IOM, I obtained from another researcher who was at the time researching the K's from the IOM. In previous telephone conversations I have had with her, (a very active 78 year old) she told me that she had obtained the list from a library (which I presumed to be a LDSFH library) in Melbourne, Australia. She now lives in Tasmania and I contacted her via telephone today to confirm this presumption. Unfortunately she could not recall exactly where in Melbourne she got this list (about 10 years ago) or even if it was from a LDS library. Each entry on each page has a source which is divided into Batch and Serial Sheet numbers. These numbers appear to match the numbers found when ordering films/fiches etc from the LDS so I feel reasonably confident that the LDSFHL is the source even though I cannot confirm it for you. It sounds to me that you do not have a local LDSFH library near you. I am prepared to go to my local (30 km's away is local for me) LDS library for you and enquire however I am going away and will be unable to attend until late the week after next at the earliest. Please let me know if you would like me to do this. Sorry to be so longwinded in my reply which really doesn't answer your question.
Guy
