The Library
The Family History Library in Salt Lake City is the largest genealogical library in the world. You will have access to more than two million rolls of microfilm (more than 142,000 square feet on five floors), hundreds of thousands of microfiche, and a huge collection of genealogical books. The library opens at 8:00 am and closes at 9:00 pm every day except Monday, when it closes at 5:00 pm, and Sundays and certain holidays, when it is closed all day.
The Trip Directors
Sandra MacLean Clunies, cg*, and Shirley Langdon Wilcox, cg, fngs, will lead this trip. Both Sandra and Shirley are experienced researchers familiar with the extensive resources available at the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City.
Sandy Clunies is an experienced researcher, author, and lecturer, certified by BCG since 1993. She is a life member of NGS and NEHGS, a former member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Professional Genealogists, and past president of Association of Professional Genealogists' National Capital Area Chapter. Her personal research has a focus on colonial New England and Nova Scotia, but client work has involved many other geographic areas and time periods. She is a registrar for many lineage societies including DAR, Colonial Dames XVII Century, and NSUS Daughters of 1812, and she has prepared more than sixty approved applications in the past three years.
Shirley Wilcox served two terms as NGS president and has been board certified as a genealogist since 1973. As a native Californian, she has experience tracing her own lines from New England and the South across the country to Northern California in the 1850s–1870s. As a professional genealogist, she has compiled lineages for clients whose ancestors lived in many geographic regions. Shirley was president of the Association of Professional Genealogists from 1991–1993, served on the Board for Certification of Genealogists till 2009, and currently serves on the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the District of Columbia, and is the president of the Virginia Genealogical Society.
All registrants will receive information and advice about pre-trip planning. In addition, once in Salt Lake City, each participant will have the opportunity for ongoing consultation with Sandra and Shirley.
