Going to Salt Lake City
Forums
Alicia, I have to agree with Evie. I visited the FH Library in Salt Lake in November of 2003. I found many films from Mexico were there, but not all of the specific films I was interested in. When I asked about them I was informed that they were in the Vault and that it would take a couple of days to get copies of them sent to the library. If you are only going for a few days it's best to call ahead and be prepared with the films you are most interested in viewing. I was only there for a few hours because I had missed a connecting flight to another destination, but it was a very productive visit. I had thought about gifting myself a trip to Salt Lake for my birthday (coincidentally in March also). Hey, I guess great minds think alike! :-) Maria --- In ranchos@yahoogroups.com, "Evie Villegas"wrote: > Alicia, I made the trip several years ago and was disappointed to find that > all of the Mexico records were in the vault and, therefore,

This is a good question and good idea. We will be going to Guadalajara first and proceeding to Nochistlan Zacatecas and then to Tlachichila Zacatecas in September for Las fiestas patronales. That is the feast of the patron saint of our hometown. We went last year for the first time ever and it was wonderful. This was a great opportunity to make contact with extended family who come back annually from near and far. Many came from Chicago, Texas, Oklahoma, California, Arizona, New Mexico and of course from throughout Mexico.
Most every town in Mexico has a feast for the patron saint of their town. You can try to log on to your town's website for that information. We on our trip last year were able get some oral family history from both the locals and those who were coming from out of town, state and country. It's a great opportunity to hear some history and lore regarding your town or city. We brought back 4 legal pages on of history of Tlachichila. They told of the founding fathers

Evie,
I feel so dissappointed for you, I can't imagine going that far only to find that you're sooo close and yet unable to see any films or proceed with your research, that's why this group is invaluable to the novices who are learning to navigate the genealogical ropes.
Muchas Gracias a todos los genios de este grupo!............Alicia

Alicia, I made the trip several years ago and was disappointed to find that
all of the Mexico records were in the vault and, therefore, unavailable
without prior reservation. Perhaps this situation has changed by now.
However, I would suggest that you call or write and reserve those films you
wish to view, just to be sure. Evie

Alberto, Steven, Kitty and Joseph,
Thanks to all of you for the great information, for the support and encouragement, I need it!!!
Alberto, If I'm ever in the Westwood area I'll make it a point to look it up. I live in San Jose, northern California so we do travel south from time to time. Maybe on my next visit I can put it on the places to visit list.
I'll keep you all posted on my progress................Alicia

If you live in Los Angeles or the surrounding towns,
the LDS Family Center in Westwood (near UCLA) is also
excellent. They have tons of microfilm from Mexico.

That is not silly at all. I believe this is one of the best gifts you
can give to yourself. I myself wanted to go to Salt Lake City in
several occasions, but I just haven't had the time.
According to some nice people that I met at a Family History Center a
while back, you can just go to the Family History Library and check
all the films they have there. However, it is a good idea to call
them in advance just to make sure that some specific films you are
looking forward to check are there. They could be at another FHC in
the US at this time, but of course, if you have several surnames and
locations to research, I believe that a trip to Salt Lake City is
worth it. Well, that is just my opinion. I am sure that other members
from this group will reply to your message and tell you what they
think about your trip.
