Navy4Christ Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 How do I locate baptism records for another state? Mom was baptized in San Bernardino, CA during June of '86. Mom's ward in rural Missouri cannot locate her record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 My understanding is that after the ordinance is complete they should print you out a personal certificate and then forward the info on to the general church records department. So the clerk ought to be able to request them from salt lake directly, he should know how to do that. If the ward never forwarded them on so salt lake has no record then you would need to contact the ward she was baptized in.... however, over this long of time odds are they don't have the records anymore. Which means if mom does not have her certificate they should have given her then it will be a more involved process. We had a sister that the records "got lost" for but she had her certificate so they used it to update the records. There really is a reason beyond scrapbooking to keep those. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
