Yes you should go. They have lots of information you can look at. Its just the same as going to your main library. Ann |

As far as I know the LDS films are taken from the original registers, just as the microfilms are in records offices. nell |

I have never visited one of the LDS Family History Centres, but have found that there is one not too, too far from where I live. I have found an entry on the IGI in which I am interested (well, a couple of hundred if I am being honest, but let's take it one at a time!), and it is shown as coming from the parish records (not a submission by a church member). If I order the film and go to view it at the Family History Centre, what am I likely to see? Will it be a photograph of the actual parish record (or bishop's transcript) such as I would see at a County Records Office, or will it be a photograph of a transcription from the original? In other words, is it as good as viewing the fiche at the County Records Office? Tina |
