I have been trying to make it to your library for years. This webinar was wonderfully informative. I have a much better understanding of what the library holds and where everything is located! I have been battling stage 3 melanoma cancer and kidney cancer. God willing I will make it to your library next year.
Great information I know it only scratched the surface.
Very well presented and valuable and excellent resources and information. I've been using Family Search for some time and have a tree but learned a lot more about its capabilities. SLC Library is now on my bucket list, All of my roots are in Italy and Family Search has had the most information in my pursuit of family history.
Lynn Turner is the best!!! Thank you for arranging for Lynn to speak about the Family Search Library.
Lynn's presentation was easy to follow, and the information was very helpful. I learned a ton of new things and the great part is he showed us where to go and find information that we can now learn so much more on our own. Also, I am so excited to go to Salt Lake and very happy to have his knowledge to help me because I now know I was not at all prepared to make the trip. Now I will be much more productive after I prepare myself according to Lynn's presentation.
Thanks Lynn for providing so much information about the Library. I'm excited about utilizing "Memory Lane" to digitize some slides and audio on my next visit.
My 'brick wall' is driving me nuts. Have been searching for years and sometime just feel like giving up. I was at the Library the first week of August. So wish I'd had access to this information before I went so that I was better prepared. This webinar gave me many clues as to where to go next. Places I haven't even thought of. And information that wasn't easily available when started. Thank you, Lynn. And I may have to make another trip to your beautiful city and library.
I have been there once. Would love to go again.
