[or-roots] Thank you and books?

[Barbara Wulf]

The LDS site has a Family History Catalog on line.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp

These records are available either in Salt Lake or if on film or fiche at
your local family history center.

HOWEVER, many of the books are available on interlibrary loan at your local
library.
