I’m traveling to Flores, my home island, in late August with my cousin Deanna. We hope to find other cousins still living there. Our direct ancestors left in 1880, but thanks to Cheri and Rosemarie’s super workshop in Salt Lake City I’ve now got a huge pre-1910 family tree. They were fertile and healthy! Does anyone have advice or tips about getting access to local church records in the islands? I have a contact in the village, but I don’t think she’s much of a church goer. Do I contact the priest directly? Or do I have to contact the diocese first? Or...?? If we can just bridge a generation or two I think we’ll find we’re related to just about everyone there!
