+Oral genealogies&nbsp;
+During the 1970s, the Utah Genealogical Society recognized how important and how fragile these genealogies are.&nbsp; They commissioned qualfied people to contact the&nbsp;older&nbsp;peojple from the&nbsp;islands and have them speak into&nbsp;a tape recorder to redord&nbsp;their genealogies.&nbsp; Then,&nbsp;the people who gathered them would type the information from the tapes onto paper as a transcript of the genealogy.&nbsp; These transcripts were later microfilmed.&nbsp; The microfilms of&nbsp;the'''transcripts '''(see the transcript numbers on the table below)can be ordered from any family history center.&nbsp;
