John, I was at the Salt Lake City Family History Center several times and the information was accurate since it is all microfilmed from the original documents. If it is really busy, which I have heard it is most often, you may have to wait a bit for help. There are just so many volunteers, but everyone if eager to help. Also, many people who are there doing research will show you what to do. It is a bit itimidating at first because of the vast amount of films that are there. You will be shown how to code your surnames and there are books that have all the census film numbers in and you look for your surname code in that book for the area you want. Then when you have the film number, you find the film you want and sit and look through is on the viewers. You can do some of the locating of film numbers online before going to the library. If I can be of further help you can email me off list. My experiences have been pretty good. There is also a library in Ogden. It isn't as big but all of the census films are there. Maybe if there is a library closer to you it would be better to learn how to find things there before going to Salt Lake City. Susan H.C.V.
