One thing….. one motivational thing…….. I learned at RootsTech was that the Wiki at FamilySearch is devloping into a #1 Gold-Plated Grade A Double WOW research tool. Have you use this resource yet?? The Wiki at FamilySearch will help you learn all about a research topic or helps for researching in a place.
Case in point: A lady in the group came up to me in the Library wanting my help in writing a letter to an archive in Poland. (She knew from help down on B-1 that the record she wanted to see was not filmed or digitized and so she would have to write to Poland.) What do I know about writing letters to Poland?? But I knew enough to click to www.wiki.familysearch.org which we did. Almost right at the entry page was her answer……… about six pages of everything she needed to know to write to a Polish archive. In 5 minutes! Can you imagine that kind of help for yourself??
You know what a wiki is…….. quick answers to just about everything. The FamilySearch wiki contains answers to help us with our genealogy. Go have a looksee.
P.S. A new little restaurant is now open across from Deseret Book. Called the Blue Lemon, I’m sure it will be a place we’ll be visiting again and often!
