Ricardo,

When will you be in Salt Lake?

Jonathan

Good morning, Rick...

I recently searched a microfilm at our local LDS Family Center and I was
able to download images onto a USB flash-drive by using one of their viewers
that was connected to a PC running windows and their software...

Most likely you should be able to do this in Salt Lake City also...

Sincerely,

Gilbert Keas...

I would also like to ask anyone knows if it’s now possible to download data
to a USB thumb drive or to any other format. All info and suggestions are
appreciated.

Ricardo:

Candy's suggestion about knowing what films you will be looking at ahead of time is a great piece of advice. If you notify them a week ahead of time of the dates of your visit and the numbers of any films that are listed as VAULT instead of FHL in the film catalog, they will get them to the library for you. Wonderful service.

You should definitely take a USB thumb drive. You can also burn CDs from the scanner computers. There are very good digital scanners on every floor and you can book them for only an hour at a time so it is good idea to mark up everything you want to scan ahead of time (put little slips of paper in the film as you view it to keep track of where your record is). You can also jump from floor to floor if you want more time on the machine.

There is a restaurant that is decent in the Plaza Hotel just next door to the library where you can get a decent lunch, but the hotel is just so so. It used to be better but the cleanliness and service was bad last time I went in March of 2007. There are a number of other hotels just down S West Temple about five blocks away on the 500 to 600 block.

Look up Pilar Manriquez, who I believe is still a volunteer at the library. She is originally from Mexicali and is very amicable. She knows many of us Rancheros. I believe there are also a number of other Ranchos members who live in or around Salt Lake City.

If you like Thai food, this is one of the better places I found to eat near the library:

Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine
327 W 200 S
Salt Lake City, UT 84101-4207
Phone: (801) 596-1778

Sometimes the films a person wants are not located in the library. The patron has to fill out a rrequest to have them transferred. Sometime this can take 2 or 3 days.

It is best if you go through the Family History Library catalog before you leave so you can decide films you want to see. You can make a list and then fax or mail it to the library. If there is a series of films (even if you don't think that you will all of them), it's best to get them all. Give them your arrival date so the films will be there when you want to start using them.

Hello everyone,

I want to ask everyone in this group if they have visited the LDS Family
Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am planning to go this month and since
this is my first time, I need some tips and advice so I don't feel lost
there.

I would also like to ask anyone knows if it's now possible to download data
