    2. Hi Back in the old days (30+ years ago when I started doing family history), you'd get request forms from the GSU (now FHL), send them in (up to 5 at a time), and the GSU would send a photocopy of the temple index card and/or family group sheet. TIB Requests!!! Boy do I remember those..isn't it amazing how must faster things have gotten? And remember the only way to contact others was through the Everton's Genealogical Helper or small and obscure magazines published by local researching groups......we are so spoiled with the email lists we now have...and online databases. The main FHL in SLC (as far as I know) has all of these old family group sheet (now called FGRs) films. I think they have put the originals back out in public over in the Joseph Smith Building (Hotel Utah). Michele Brooks
