The Common Room / Have you ever gone to Utah, or thought about it?
« on: Thursday 20 October 05 03:24 BST (UK) »
I have reached one of those places in my research where I have the option of trying to convince an LDS bishop that I am indeed descended from so-and-so, so that I may have the privilege of going to Salt Lake City and viewing some records that are not accessible in any other way. Perhaps some of you have had the same experience.
I have no idea what would be in this kind of record, if I were to go there. The website doesn't really tell me very much at all.
I would want to know that it was going to give me something I wanted to know before I even considered going. The record in question is of a woman born in 1794 in the Netherlands, my ggggmother.
I'm also wondering what other sorts of things one might find there that couldn't be found in any large city. I live in Canada, but, to be honest, I'd rather take a trip to England than to the US! Unfortunately, you can't send anyone to do "look-ups" with this kind of a restricted-access record.
Please share your experiences!
thanks,
Loo
