Microfilm Available at the Mormon Church Family History Center
by Melody Lassalle
One of the most important places to do research is at the Family History Center of the Mormon Church (aka Church of Latter Day Saints). Check your local phone book for a Family History Center near you.
This is a list of some of the microfilms/microfiche that are helpful for the Portuguese Hawaiian researcher. Note that each Family History Center has it's own collection. Most items not in a center's collection may be borrowed from the main Family History Library. (Check with staff for availability and policies on ordering films.)
