Field Trip Report


Four of us visited the Family History Center Wednesday morning, which meant we could spend the whole time on their computers! We would call this a successful trip.

Diane found an interesting article about a mine disaster in Wales that might fit her family stories.

Mary Anne was able to locate Norwegian birth and marriage records that have been digitized but that she cannot view at home. She used Record Seek to add them to her family tree and also took photos of the records. Now she can attach them to a request for a complete translation from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

Sandra located census records that advanced her pedigree chart and also found a marriage record that provided an ancestor's maiden name.

Annie spent time on FindMyPast searching for new records for her British ancestors.
