  • FHL Number

    Hi all, can anyone tell me what FHL Number 1040656 means. It is from the Vital Records Index - British Isles. Obviously it relates to a christening record and can I get a copy of this record??

    Babe, it stands for Family History Library number

    Here's a link to a list of the centres. Enter Australia and Queensland in the search boxes. Go to your nearest and order the film number you need.

        Babe.............it could be as little as name, date and maybe father's name, or it could be a goldmine of info.

        What year are you looking at???

        It's not on Ancestry, is it?

          FHL Number

          Hi there Harry's Mum, im looking from 1826 to 1842 in Rickamnsworth Hertfordshire England. My 3rd GGfather's children are on Ancestry but I was looking for the actual parish entries. I have found their FHL Number and might order the film and look at it at the local History Office in Brisbane.

            The Familysearch centres are at the LDS centres. They are on the website Galloway Lass gave you. Then you can pick the closest. I've only bee to Karrawatha and they've been brilliant.

            If you put the name up I'll see if anything pops up.

                For baptisms around that date, the entry should tell you the names of the parents (though not including mother's maiden name), residence and father's occupation. But if you can get a birth certificate for Sarah or Anne, the birth cert will tell you the mother's maiden name.
