23, 1856, in honor to the Amazonas river, which was discovered by
Francisco de Orellana in 1542, who also is quoted for the name of the
river, as result of a legend about a tribe of female warriors who
strongly opposed the Spanish conquistadores, which reminded him of the

the south with Brasil; to the east with Brasil and Bolívar

Family History Centers (Records on Microfilm)
The
Family History Centers are part of the Church of Jesus Christ of the
Latter-day Saints and are available to their members to fulfill the
covenant of Family Sealing.
However,
they also provide an important service to the general public, allowing
them access to their vast library of microfilmed civil records, ecclesiastic
records, and many other documents of genealogical value without having
to be a member of their church.
These
centers are staffed with voluntary teams and there is no charge for the
use of their facilities, except for some nominal fees for photocopies,
pedigree charts, film rentals, etc.
