I am interested in the FHC...have always wanted to research my family, but online, Ididn't find too much...it seems you have to go to the FHC in person? It sounded, from one of the messages, like someone from 700 miles away from anywhere had used this tool and I assumed, online. Was I reading too fast and deleting words with the delete key in my head? The only thing I was able to do online was type in two surnames...neither one was recognized in the database, which comes it seems, from others who are researching the same names...so I was at a cul de sac...I don't believe it's a complete dead end...
