Notes

HEIR INDEXES list a family representative at whose instance the baptisms were performed. There are heir indexes in individual vols., 1893-1923; and in separate vols, 1923-1954. The indexes in vols. 1893-1923 were filmed separately as well as with the vols. of which they are a part. . BAPTISM REGISTERS contain name, birthdate, birthplace of the deceased and the names of the heir and proxy. . BAPTISM CARDS contain the same data as the registers. The baptism card is actually a photocopy. An endowment date was added to the card, making it a baptism and endowment card. To see these cards, look for "Endowments for the dead, 1893-1970" in the author/title catalog under: "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Salt Lake Temple;" or in the topical catalog under: "Temple records - Salt Lake Temple." . BAPTISM CERTIFICATES/STATEMENTS consist of heir and proxy lists and statements certifying that the listed baptisms have been performed. The lists include a number referring to the baptism & endowment card.
