Family History Library

This is where Gail & I are spending our days in Salt Lake City - 5 floors of genealogical data. Today I traced my great-grandfather. who came to the United States from Sweden in 1879, three generations back in Sweden.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri. it is fun finding relatives

[Paula]

How cool that you traced your roots back so far! Would love to do that someday:)

@pwallis Thank you Paula, it is like solving a mystery, it is frustrating at times, but fun when you succeed

[Jen Dee]

Sounds like fun times to me! Great photo.

I wished I'd had the time to spend there when I visited Salt Lake City. I'm very much facinated with genealogy. I just recently found an ancestor who was on the Mayflower and I could hardly believe it. So few of them survived.

That is so cool you traced your family back to then! Such a pretty building and I love the trees next to it.

Ahhh - my Dad would envy you so. He's always had the greatest respect for the info in the Mormon libraries, and says that for any family genealogist having Mormon family is a really good thing!
