Sorry, for the confusion, that my uploading of my file has caused. I created my file, with wordperfect (meaning, that I have never used excel yet.) I just wanted to share with the group, what films and other resources, that the FHC, here in Logan has. Because I only do about 25% of my research, that the Logan Family History Center. The other 75% of my research, is done at the Family History Library, in Salt Lake. so, in reality, I have access, to all the films that the Family History Library has, and it does not cost me anything, to order them. Thus saying that, I can say if, anyone needs a occasional lookup, they can contact me, and see when I will be in Salt Lake. And can do the Lookup. Also, if there are other group members, here in Utah. That may be able to help, with lookups at the FHL.
