I visited one of the LDS Research Centers for the first tine today, here in my area, and although I was still unsuccessful, it was a nice experience.
The aids and the librarian were very friendly and willing to help and I did learn how to use the microfilm machine.
Once again, due to my age, the ladies were surprised at what I have accomplished and asked how long I have been researching. When I told them about 8 years, they just stared at me with an odd expression.
It was very nice to receive compliments for my work I have done and even to be told that I was “scholarly”.
Although my visit today did not help with my brick wall, I will go back or visit a different LDS center for assistance.
