| LDS Attempt to Microfilm NZ Records Upsets Maori Leader |
| A failed proposal to have the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints microfilm about 100 years of New
Zealand birth, marriage and death records since 1848 has local Maori
officials upset, both because the proposal was even considered, and
because the alternative contract led to a fee increase on copies of
the genealogical records. Wellington Tenths Trust managing trustee
Peter Love condemned the proposal to microfilm records because he
said it would lead to Maori ancestors posthumous baptism into the LDS
Church. |

missionary work in Germany and into LDS beliefs. |
