I live in Guiseley near Leeds in West Yorkshire, but have tried searching on the website for Leeds, Bradford, York, Wakefield but cannot find one. Does anyone know where there is a centre other than Sheffield?

You can go online at http://www.familysearch.org/ I think they have the same info as the actual office.

You can order films at the family centre of registers NOT on the website. The main one in London (opposite the Science Museum) has a lot of parish records on film which aren't on the website. nell

I think there must be something wrong with the search for family history centres on the LDS site, because I put in Billingham, Teesside, where I know there IS a centre, and it still came up with nothing. Kath. x

Oxfordshire,boy it must be summer down there,i would have to shed 3 layers of clothes and get my passport. And it would be a bit too near sea level for me. Glen

Tom There is definately one in Leeds I just Googled this . Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Lister House, Lister Hill, Horsforth, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS18 5AZ ... Tel: 0113 258 4221. I don't think this is where you are able to order your films but if you phone them they should tell you where the other one is. Eve
