I had an opportunity to go to the FHL in Salt Lake a few years back with my sister...we only stayed a couple of days, but WOW! What a treat that was!! So many records, and so many helpful folks....I'd LOVE to go back!

Charlee, each of the LDS 'stakes' (areas) has a 'specialist' that has been called to assist all who ask for assistance in the search for family. Look in your local phone book and call the church that is closest to you and ask for the 'Family History Specialist'. They have the same access as SLC.

Here in Summerville, SC, My friend introduced me to her church, Latter Day Saints (Mormans) She and I go every Tues. to the Family Research Center to help me find my family. It cost nothing to use the facility and computers, etc. and everyone is so helpful. You can use Ancestry.com for free there and might even find something in the family trees... just a thought..good luck.

I'd love to, our local FHC is only open when I'm working or can't access it! I'd love to be able to go and spend every open hour I can there...the LDS family history workers have ALWAYS been so pleasant and nice, it's a fun place to go!

Lds family history center not only will have extensive info for you but personal help. Do you know how to find one in your area?

No Ancestry.com is NOT run by LDS church. It was owned by members once and at that time it was free in all the FHC . But was sold to whom ever. The new owners where not as charitable and Ancestry was removed from the centers. I will not go into all the legal stuff But after a lot of work Ancestry Library version is now in the centers.
