Kathy I think the remark about the mormons was uncalled for. Their are people on this list that are LDS including myself, and I for one didn`t appreciate it. Sandra > > Please allow me to digress a moment in case some readers do not know about Family History Centers. Part of the Mormon religion is to do family research. They think they can then pray all their ancestors into becoming Mormons. I will make no comment on that at all. The good thing for other genealogists is that because it is a part of their religion, the Mormons have spent millions going all over the world and copying records (church, county, government, etc.). I could not even begin to guess the vast amount of microfilm, not to mention books they have. The really good thing is that you do not have to travel to Salt Lake City to take advantage of their vast collection. The local Family History Centers can borrow almost all rolls of microfilm for you (at a $3.75 per roll charge). They cannot borrow books. There are volunteers at the centers to help you with your research. One thing I seldom use is their computer ancestor files. I have looked at far too many ance!

I did not catch the remark about the Mormons, but I have been able to access, Wills, Deeds, Land Grants, excerpts from books copies of military and church records through the Family History Centers that I would not have found through any other source. I will say that I have found some information that was submitted by individual families to be incorrect. However, I have found this to be true in the Ancestors and Descendants posted on family trees and websites. Many Libraries now have connections with LDS and can order the Microfilms.
