Maybe this will be your year to find out just who William's parents
were! I'll try to keep an eye out for you too and hope that many of us
make excellent progress over the next few months. Hope those links were
the ticket? Here is some interesting information that Cathy Farris
shared today ~ may come in handy to know about:

This may be of interest to researchers.

Cathy Farris

This email announces that a new LDS FamilySearch Center is now operating
in the John Parker Library of the recently opened National Underground
Railroad Freedom Center (NURFC) in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You and your friends are invited to visit us and use our FamilySearch
Center. Adult fee to the NURFC is $12; however, if you visit only the
FamilySearch Center there is no charge.

The FamilySearch Center consists of five computers with high speed
Internet access. In addition to ancestry.com, we are using
heritagequestonline.com for access to census records. Various LDS
collections are also available including Pedigree Resource, Vital
Records, and Freedman's Bank Records.

Temple Ready is not in use at this FamilySearch Center. "Starter" kits
are
available for beginners.
The Center also includes a Canon digital micrographics system.

Microfilms may be ordered for the standard fee for people wishing to use
them in this FamilySearch Center.

The FamilySearch Center is sponsored and staffed by the three Cincinnati
stakes. The NURFC is excited to have the partnership of the Church in
creating and operating this FamilySearch Center. See page 10 of the
August issue of Family Tree magazine.

Since there is limited space at the FamilySearch Center, reservations
are recommended and can be made by calling (513) 333-7737. If you come
to the NURFC without a FamilySearch reservation, you may inquire at the
Information Desk to learn if there is available FamilySearch space. (A
reservation is unnecessary solely to visit the NURFC.)

The FamilySearch Center is open 11 AM to 4 PM, Tuesday through Friday;
and 11 AM to 2:30 PM on Saturday.

Please learn more about the NURFC at www.freedomcenter.org Questions or
suggestions may be directed to

Jim Ison
Director, FamilySearch Center
