There are several ways of getting information from LDS Records: 1. www.familysearch.org If you find information on this site--several avenues--Pedigree Resource File, Ancestral File, Library Catalog; IGI (International Genealogical Index), 1880 Index and others I may have missed. 2. Depending on which source you find, you may need to then go to the local LDS Family History Center in your area--generally listed in the yellow pages under the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They sometimes have many holdings in their library. What they do not have, they can generally help you order from the archives in Salt Lake City. Cost for ordering a film is generally $3.25. When the film arrives, it will be available for your viewing at the library for approximately 4 weeks. Again, generally, their staff are knowledgeable and can help you find more sources if available. The only other charge for the library usage is if you make copies of the material you want. I use the word "generally" because of the thousands of LDS THC's in the world, they do vary some. Some ask this question: Will they try to convert me or preach religion to me? The answer is that "No, they should not." Karleen Phillips
