Hijola,

somebody at that FHC is doing some intense research in our target area.
. .if you wouldn't mind maybe put up a notice on the FHC patron
information board about Ranchos. I'm always interested in adding serious
researchers [with an emphasis on serious but no emphasis on whether they
are beginners, journeymen, or advanced] to the group.

let me know if you want me to send you something to put up on the
bulletin board.

ps: General message to the group: its okay to tell people that are
studying in our target area about the group, but make sure they
understand there are two "easy" requirements to be a member that I will
make them comitt to in writing before subscribing them.

Marge, don't forget to be on the lookout for any

lookout for.

Before going to the FHL in Salt Lake, you need to  check and see if
the films,that you want look at are there.  You can do this by
checking the Library Catalog, at Familysearch.org, if the films are in
the the FHL, it will say above the film number FHL International or
FHL USA, etc.  If it is in the vault, It will say Vault.  You can
order the film into the library by calling the Library at (801)
240-2334. That is the direct line to the International floor
attendants, just say that you want ot order a film, into the the
library.  It usually takes about 2 days to arrive.  Also, they give
priority to patrons, who come from outside of Utah, to use the library.

Also, when are you planning on going to the Library, in March?  Maybe
we can meet at the Library?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Alicia, I have to agree with Evie.  I visited the FH Library in Salt 
Lake in November of 2003.  I found many films from Mexico were 
there, but not all of the specific films I was interested in.  When 
I asked about them I was informed that they were in the Vault and 
that it would take a couple of days to get copies of them sent to 
the library.  If you are only going for a few days it's best to call 
ahead and be prepared with the films you are most interested in 
viewing.  

I was only there for a few hours because I had missed a connecting 
flight to another destination, but it was a very productive visit.  
I had thought about gifting myself a trip to Salt Lake for my 
birthday (coincidentally in March also).  Hey, I guess great minds 
think alike!  :-)

Alicia, I made the trip several years ago and was disappointed to find that
all of the Mexico records were in the vault and, therefore, unavailable
without prior reservation.  Perhaps this situation has changed by now. 
However, I would suggest that you call or write and reserve those films you
wish to view, just to be sure.  Evie

If you live in Los Angeles or the surrounding towns,
the LDS Family Center in Westwood (near UCLA) is also
excellent. They have tons of microfilm from Mexico.

That is not silly at all. I believe this is one of the best gifts you 
can give to yourself. I myself wanted to go to Salt Lake City in 
several occasions, but I just haven't had the time. 

According to some nice people that I met at a Family History Center a 
while back, you can just go to the Family History Library and check 
all the films they have there. However, it is a good idea to call 
them in advance just to make sure that some specific films you are 
looking forward to check are there. They could be at another FHC in 
the US at this time, but of course, if you have several surnames and 
locations to research, I believe that a trip to Salt Lake City is 
worth it. Well, that is just my opinion. I am sure that other members 
from this group will reply to your message and tell you what they 
think about your trip.
