    1. Re: [GFO] Acronyms, Abbreviations, Glossaries
    2. I just did a Google search for FHC and up popped FamilySearch.org and then Family History Centers. FHC is not really another name for LDS! FHC stands for Family History Centers, which we old timers used to know as "branch libraries." When they renamed the library in Salt Lake City the Family History Library, they also renamed the branch libraries. LDS stands for Latter Day Saints, which is actually an abbreviation of their name. The correct name is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" but, of course, with our propensity for acronyms, we had to shorten it! Mimi Stang
