Is there a way to obtain a copy of my ancestors' membership Record?

CarolynLawrence1 · January 22

I am doing a three-generation project for my last semester of school at BYU-Idaho and trying to obtain information about my ancestors (Great grandparents) who showed up as members of the Church of Jesus Christ in the 1800s in the 1871 Census Record from New Brunswick, Canada. I am under a time constraint as well, to gather information. Is there a way to get proof of the family membership, for genealogy purposes?

well it may not be what you are looking for - - but if you look at their ordinance records in Family Tree - does it show their dates for baptism and other ordinances? (with a date before their death date)?

I would need more details and the membership document stating her parents' names and where they lived on the date she became a member. I know who they are, but I am looking for more documentation to concur with my other documents as to their identities to complete my research for my project. At best this would be an archived document. The persons I inquired about are my great-grandmother, Sarah Sterling, and great-grandmother, Judith King.

You might find a record in one of the collections listed on this FamilySearch Wiki page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Records_of_The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints

You can also try this one: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Membership_Records_of_The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints
