Day 4 Research at the Family History Library Salt Lake City October 29th
The open hours for Tuesday to Saturday are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and closed on Sunday. This provides for a possible long day of research.
Today I did a bit more work on the early German parish registers to start the day looking for Schultz, Neumann, Passow and Schmidt. Then I started working on the long list of microfilms we had listed to look at for Kip/Kipp and Meed/Mead information. These are the two families I am specifically working on in the Dutchess County New York area.
I photographed the appropriate pages. Using a good digital camera that has at least 10 MP and anti-shake technology a researcher can accumulate many images in a short time to be viewed later on a computer. It is a good idea to practice your document picture taking techniques in advance so you can be confident you can hold the camera steady. Turn off your flash of course. If you don’t turn off you flash when photographing images on a microfilm reader you get this blinding flash which is light reflecting off of the white reader platform. Today I accumulated abut 120 images.
