Hello All (especially Valerie)..... I too would like to learn of the advantages and disadvantages of traveling to Salt Lake City (LDS/FHL) to research. Are there materials and resources there that are peculiar to that location alone, and not available on loan, and for which the trek would be well worth the effort.

RE: S.L. C. Library Their collections of genealogical books by state, county, country, etc. are very extensive, as is their collection of family histories. I found sources I had not found elsewhere. Their experts too offer invaluable help. Documents in other languages are translated for you by them. The advantage to their microfilm collection is that it is right there. At family centers, you must order the microfilm you want to be sent to the local center where it can be kept for six weeks, plus it must be used at the F.C. E.
