The following is a letter that was sent to someone else I know that also received an email about record destruction in SLC. It turns out the email was a hoax. I would like to say thank you to everyone that helper me out. Have a great day Carol Gabriel List Admin The Genealogical Society of Utah and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are not destroying genealogical records and have no plans to do so. The family group records that were on the 4th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building have been microfilmed. These microfilm are in the Family History Library and can be loaned to our family history centers worldwide. The books and other materials that were on the 4th floor have been moved to the Family History Library. The library is being renovated and all films, fiche, books and other items will be returned to their proper places when the renovation is finished at the end of this year. Our genealogical records are not being destroyed. If you wish to learn more about the worldwide activities we suggest that you visit the Genealogical Society of Utah Web site at http://www.gensocietyofutah.org/.
