Yes, boys and girls, another full day of learning southern research methods at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. Seeing all the top genealogist from around the US and the world in one place is like a groupie backstage at a Led Zeppelin concert. After classes, I went back over to the Family History Library to delve into the microfilms for some marriage records. I found what I came for and a couple of other nuggets of information.
My companion for the microfilm readers was good friend Leslie Carney of Arizona. She picked out a row of readers that were empty and in the shadows…ooooh. But alas, it was because they were all left-handed machines! It didn’t phase me or her one bit. We stayed till almost closing time at 9:00 pm and then took the bus back to the Hilton. Oops, I forgot to do my homework assignment! I’ll just get up early and do it in the morning.

| Microfilm research is always exciting! |
 |
| I wonder how many microfilms there are in this library? |
 |
| I hate threading the film into the readers! |
 |
| I take pictures of the intro to the reels for reference. |
 |
| I also take a picture of the index page with the person of interest. |
