England Nonconformists Additional Latter-day Saint Records (National Institute)

Other Latter-day Saint Records
The British Latter-day Saint newspaper was the Millennial Star, which carried much information about individuals, families, emigration, arrivals and departures, obituaries etc. The publication is available on 39 films starting at and indexed in the ECIF.

Other useful genealogical sources are patriarchal blessings, and Mormons have been exceptional keepers of journals and diaries and prolific writers of family histories. The LDS church took nine censuses of its members between 1914 and 1960 which are condensed versions of the membership records. Barton gives further information on sources and some good examples of what may be found.

[http://www.lds.org. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] employs no paid ministers since the bible forbids it; each member is called to serve in different positions in the church for varying periods of time. Records for deceased persons are available and described fully in Tracing LDS Families and further information on church callings can be found on their website.
