 Brother Perrin served as LDS Mission President in Tahiti, and as a Church educator in the islands of French Polynesia for several years. His suggestions for the steps a person from French Polynesia should take to get records after interviewing family members are as follows:
-'''1. We must secure an official government record'''.<br> Citizens are required to do this by law, but people on the outer islands sometimes put it off. People have a Polynesian name and an official French name. We must have the French name when we declare births with the government. We can find our parents’ records, which tell where we are from.

-'''2. We can then go to the Family History Center in Papeete and ask for help from the directors'''.<br> Presently, Elder and Sister Gautier are the FHC Directors. They both are fluent in French, and Sister Gautier knows ''Tahitian.'' They both understand the full situation of getting access to records.

-'''3. A person needs to know the French language to use the government records'''.<br> If we do not speak French, we should ask a translator to go with us.
