I went to a local one and decided once was enough. In Richmond VA, they asked me what religion I was and let me know that Southern Baptists did not belong there. I spent the entire time sitting on the floor because they only had about 10 chairs and all were taken. The 'librarian' told me several times they had nothing that the Va State Library did not have. I got discouraged because no one could cite sources for the info and I finally went home thoroughly disgusted..

I have been to four Family Research Centers in two states, including the large one in Nauvoo, IL., and though I am not Mormon, I have always been treated well and never asked about my religion. I suspect that the center you visited does not represent the usual. The smaller ones were crowded, but I waited my turn. In Nauvoo, I was pleased to be able to purchase for $1 each guides to research for various states, countries, etc. Now most of what local Family Centers have is on-line at http://www.familysearch.org/ I also was treated nicely in S.L.C.

I was treated courteously in Buckingham, only problem is that they are only available to researchers on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. I am not a Morman either but they didn't ask me anything about my religion. --- Ms2001@aol.com wrote: > I went to a local one and decided once was > enough.
