Hi Ed, You will have a great time there and won't want to leave! They are extremely helpful and you will be able to get much help. My suggest is for you to go and search to see what films and books you are interested in and bring all the film numbers and book numbers to help you find them. They also have computers where you can get on the FamilySearch Library Catalog, if needed. I believe they also have Ancestry for free usage. Plus, they have many people there to help you. Best you go with some search plans because you can easily get distracted and go in various directions at once. Also, bring your family tree to help you. If you have a laptop take it, you will be able to connect it at the microfilm viewer booth. They have computer plugs and stuff. > I'm making my first trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City > Oct 2 - 9th.
