    3. You'll want to read this story about Paula Todd - genealogist, volunteer librarian at the John McIntire Library in Zanesville, Ohio. She tells her experiences in genealogy at the Zanesville (OH) FHC: I was at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at their family center. That's the Mormon Church on Kearns Drive. They are tied into the world's largest genealogy center out in Utah. I walked in not knowing what I wanted to find out, except I wanted to find out about the Ethell family. I heard some woman in the back of the room say, 'I have Ethells in my family.' And I thought, 'Oh, sure, that's probably no relations of mine at all.' But whoever was at the desk put me on a reader of some kind. A census reader to start with. And pretty soon the woman in the back came and laid this Ethell book beside me. I copied it off just to be nice to her if nothing else because she was going to such great lengths. And I got home and looked at that and there was my family laid out in front of me. Right in front of me! Read the entire article at: Kearns, Charlie.
