Some compiled genealogies from Cook Islands were collected by William Cole and Elwin Jensen. This collection was microfilmed by the Genealogical Department of the LDS Church in 1984. The microfilm with the transcript of co Idland genealogies is '''1358004.''' | |||
During the 1970s the Genealogical Department commisioned people to go to the Pacfic Islands and gather oral genealogies. They used tape recorders, and then later typed transcripts of the interviews. The transcripts were microfilmed, and the tapes were stored in the Granite Mountain Vault. Use the table below to find the microfilm number of the transcript for the interview you are interested in. | |||
<br> | The tapes were later digitized. In the future, the tapes may be llinked to the Internet so you can access them according to the tape number.<br> | ||
