Linda,

As far as locating researchers, go to the Ancestral File, locate Daniel
Spencer and use the "F9" key to bring up a list of submitters. This can
be printed. This will include addresses and often phone numbers.

To find out more about the Mission, look in the Missionary Card Index.
Once you have exact dates you can look in the films tha t contain a log
of the missions served. I was able to find out more details of several
missions served by my ggggrandfather Abraham Palmer. The key too
finding these films are the Jaussi and Chaston books containing film
numbers for LDS Records.
