Hi everyone,

I'm back from my holiday and really glad to see the list
was so active and subscribers so helpful to each other
while I was away.

Are you ready for a trip to Salt Lake City Library? It's
fantastic! I just returned from a great time there so
thought I'd share a few tips and suggestions.

1. Have a plan before you go.

Decide what you want to find out. I made a list of dozens
of things I wanted to look for - from a specific ships'
passenger lists going to New York, to church records in
Iowa to land records for great great grandpa in Sullivan
County New York 1830s to naturalization records for several
of my ancestors in Michigan. [Check for Online Ships'
Passenger Lists at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ or
for Naturalization Film numbers at

2. Check the online Family History Library Catalogue to
find out what they have available.

Make a list of the film numbers or book call numbers you
need. Write it down on your plan beside each item you want
to look for. That saves you time and thinking once there.
After a day or two of intensive searching your brain will
turn to mush. Your plan will be your salvation, because it
is already thought out and
organized for searching. [ See the FHL Catalogue at

I have 8 more tips for using the Library in Salt Lake City
online at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/articles/slc.shtml

I hope you find these tips helpful! It's a fantastic city
and Library and I hope everyone experiences it at least
once.
