I'll just add that these Family History Centers are small and difficult to find. I made my first trip to one last week after a long time of hearing about them. I found the church it was in all right, but there was no sign anywhere to indicate which of the *many* doors to use. I, of course, chose the wrong one. :) Even inside, there was no indication of where you were to go. I wandered up and down two long halls, and was about to leave when a gentleman came out of a doorway. I stopped to ask him -- and he showed me where it was. So you might want to call first and get directions not ONLY to the building itself, but where to go once you are there. Check the hours, too, compared to the Library, the hours it was open were pretty sparse. If there's things there that you need that your main county library can't get, it's certainly worth the trip. deb - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - deb Christensen ([email protected]) Graphics Connection Forum http://www.computingcentral.com/topics/graphics/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lois" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 10:08 AM Subject: Re: Foren on O.T. in 1851? > Marilyn... > > FHC stands for Family History Center of the LDS church.
