During the 1970s the Genealogical Department commisioned people to go to the Pacfic Islands and gather oral genealogies because they realized how fragile these important sources of family information are. They made arrangements for the interviews and the older people talked into the tape recorder microphone to get their genealogy on tape. Later, the gatherers typed transcripts of the interviews onto paper. The paper transcripts were microfilmed, You can use the table below to find the microfilm number of the '''transcript''' for the interview you are interested in. | During the 1970s the Genealogical Department commisioned people to go to the Pacfic Islands and gather oral genealogies because they realized how fragile these important sources of family information are.
