Planning a Research Trip - Including Preparing for Salt Lake City

As family historians we all dream of one day walking the land of our ancestors, or going to ‘genealogy-heaven’ in Salt Lake City. Make those dreams come true, with sound practical advice from a ‘pro’. Researching away from home, especially abroad, can be unproductive and disappointing if inadequate preparations are made. The family historian is given practical advice on travel, accommodation, what to take, and what to expect in libraries and archives. They will then be fully prepared to accomplish their objectives.

The second half of the course concentrates on the world’s largest genealogical library, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The text will guide you through the planning process, familiarize you with how the Family History Library is organized and gives all the practical tips a ‘first-timer’ needs to get the most from their trip.
