A day with Genealogy

We ended up with spare time in Salt Lake City and spend some very enjoyable hours in the Family History Library. One of my favorite places to be, looking for information to find new ancestors to add to our family tree. The FH Library is awesome-one of the best in the world.

"Find Yourself in Family History"

It's a thrill just to walk inside and feel the energy as so many are working on computers, with laptops and microfilm readers as well as searching books for clues to finding their family's progenitors. It was fun to have my husband by my side searching also. It's an activity we share.

Searching those microfilms can be tedious work.
You find your own microfilm, then return it. (below)
