It looks like it is just records of temple sealings. I have never worried about the reason for privacy and restrictions, but a few non members feel quite offended by this and would just like to know why. They have Mormon ancestors and can't figure out why they can't have a copy of the original record of temple marriage. We live in a small town in WY and our director has no idea abt even where the phone number is, she is fairly new. : you didn't mention what was on this film... : could it contain patriarachal blessings, etc.....? : : just a thought in passing : *sheri* : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: John Contratto : To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 9:21 AM : Subject: Re: [LDS] question on microfilm : : : I don't have the answer but I figure bureaucray and blinders have a role in : the ruling.
