Just to add a note - book a seat/reader/computer before you go or you might find yourself with nowhere to sit. Also with mine you have to go in person and pay up front to order a film/fiche which usually takes about 2 weeks to come if not already out. Also you can make great friends and can often share films if you're looking at same place - found someone looking for same village and city - amazing. Also was at my local central library doing a lookup for someone and there was one of the usual gang working there too. Would thoroughly recommend a visit |

Oooh, I cannot believe I knew something you all didnt.....must be a first! I noticed recently, that on the new-style home page for the Site, there is a large box which says something like 'There is a Family History Centre near you'. I havent looked at this, but it seems an easier way of finding your local one than the previous system, and hopefully they will have updated the opening times etc. Oh, and by the way, you can sometimes book an appointment for Saturday morning or a weekday facility - they do not advertise this fact and it is down to the discretion of the Centre Manager, so put on your best humble wheedling tones for this exercise! Although we ALL, including me, have a mutter about the stupid and innacurate things on the IGI, the LDS Centres are a truly wonderful resource and we should be grateful that this Church, which does not always receive the best of press, is so generous with its information. (I am beginning to sound as if I have shares.....) Olde Crone |
