Printouts, transcripts and scanners, oh my!

Hello Fellow Genealogists!
Find out WHAT happened, and the impact the following entry in the Family History Library Catalog had on a researcher attending last night's Utah Genealogical Association's Salt Lake Chapter - DearMYRTLE's Study Group meeting.





Among the topics we discussed were:

• Computer printouts (as found in the catalog)
• Parish registers
• Bishop's Transcripts
• Item numbers

We also learned a little about the changes in the photocopy room on the International Floor at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. See the full report over at the Teach Genealogy Blog Why meet at the FHL?
