I agree- I'm not Mormon either, but have always found the people there very friendly and helpful. Luckily for us, our FHL is open Tuesdays through Fridays (I think it is), so we're able to go there as often as we need. Incidentally, isn't it interesting how many of us on this list are from Oregon? I think I've counted four or five so far. Especially since most other genealogy lists for places in the East don't really have that many Oregonians on them. :-) Shyanne near Corvallis, OR >Thanks to Russ for an excellent description of how to find a film from the >FHC.
