Greetings fellow researchers: On my recent visit to Lewis County, I learned something that most of you might already know. But for those unfamiliar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints centers located throughout the country, there is also one in Lowville on East State Street. The staff members are gracious, very helpful, and informed. My main discovery, however, is that they have a permanent set of microfilms that apply to Lewis County. As is so often the case, many of us visit Lewis to find original records in town clerks' offices, the court house, the libraries, etc. We may also remember that once in awhile we needed a record that was left at home and which we needed! Problem solved--go to the LDS in Lowville. The current office hours are Tues. 1-4 & 6-9 and Sat. 10-2 (subject to change) The telephone number is 315-376-3430. Their fine staff is extremely helpful. Don't forget to ask for a few helpful handouts: "Where to Look in Your Community," "Internet Resources," and the especially valuable "The Following Films are on Permanent Loan to This FHC..." that lists the microfilm numbers and what they contain. I counted ten microfilms available for your use. You may find unusual items in a few that you did not know even existed! Ken Everard
