THE GENIUS OF GENEALOGY (continued from Vol. 13 No. 3) by Phillip Bonner (from SKY, Pages 10/14, the inflight magazine of Delta Air Lines, March - 1983). Two decades ago, the Church decided that a more secure form of storage than typical above-ground buildings was needed to protect this vast collection of data. They found the ideal place in Little Cottonwood Canyon, 20 miles from downtown Salt Lake City. Today, buried hundreds of feet beneath the solid granite of the canyon, lie huge vaults guarded by doors weighing as much as 14 tons, Inside the vaults, the temperature is a constant 58 to 60 degrees F., and the humidity is mechanically controlled. All of the original nega- tives of the microfilm rolls so painstakingly collected by the Church are stored here, protected from natural and man-made catastrophe, and there is room for the equivalent of 26 million volumes of genea- logical material. Back in downtown Salt Lake City, the main Genealogy Library, housed in the 28-story office tower which serves as the Church's worldwide headquarters, keeps positive prints of all microfilm rolls as well as the vast collection of books. A new five-store library is underway, and construction is slated for completion in 1985. The Library is open to the public, and an average of 2,000 to 2,500 people use the facility each day to pursue genealogical re- search. There is no charge to use the facilities, and there are 200 paid staff members as well as 400 volunteers available to help those with questions. Letters from across the world are also answered at the rate of 4,000 to 5,000 per month. The Church staff cannot effect actual research for a patron, but they are there to help any patron make proper use of the vast amount of data present in the Library. It is requested that anyone completing research on his ancestry do- nate the results of his search to the Library. Subsequently, due to the cooperation of patrons using the facilities, which include hun- dreds of microfilm-reading machines, the Library has Family Group Records on more than 8,000,000 families. Although hundreds of thousands of people travel to Salt Lake City to use the main Library for genealogical research, there also is a system of approximately 400 branch libraries in North America and 12 other countries. Most of these branches are located in Church meetinghouses, but they are open to the public. There is an index of materials available which allows branch patrons to order microfilm from the main Library, and there are reference books at the branches, as well. More than 500,000 patron visits are recorded yearly at the branch libraries worldwide, and 15,000 to 20,000 rolls of microfilm are transferred from the main Library monthly. The Mormon's massive collection of genealogical data has gener- ated a great deal of enthusiasm among the public in recent years, and in 1980 the Church-sponsored World Conference on Records drew 11,500 people from 30 countries. There were 240 speakers (including Alex Haley) and 250 exhibits. In addition to public interest, how- ever, specialists such as demographers, sociologists and geneticists are fascinated by the Church's use of the computer in genealogical research. Each day, technological advances are moving the Mormons closer to their goal of identifying each of their ancestors. In the process of reaching this goal, people throughout the world are bene- fiting from the Church's genealogical findings. - 3 -

The entire card catalogue in the main Library is being automated, and it is estimated that within five to eight years all cataloguing will be computerized. The international Genealogical Index contains more than 70,000,000 names in alphabetical order by country of birth, parish or-county and surname; and in chronological order by date of birth or christening, and given names. Now, for example, instead of pursuing the Baker family line through. several centuries of parish register entries, researchers first can check to see if the appropriate names are included in the alphabetized list of Bakers in the Index. If they are, hundreds of hours of painstaking work can be saved. Approximately 7,000,000 names are added each year. Future plans call for revolutionary technology developments, one of which is Lineage Linking. The Church is presently asking all inter- ested people to submit their pedigree charts to the Library. These charts will be fat into the computer, forming what is called an Ancestral File, The computer will then be able to match up individual names from the vast data collection in the Library to pedigrees stored in the com- puter. When this Lineage Linking program is completed, it will be pos- sible for Library patrons to discover entire pedigrees in a matter of minutes by providing the computer with a single name. As astounding as its future plans seem, the present achievements of the Church's genealogical program are almost beyond comprehension. Suppose a man from Texas comes to the Library in Salt Lake City and wants to research his family tree. He knows his grandfather lived in Illinois in the 1880's, but prior to that time, he gets lost. One of the Library staff can direct him to the microfilm collection of Illinois census records, where he can select a roll and use one of the reading machines to search, name by name, for his ancestors. When his search takes him outside the United .States, he can turn to a staff member who specializes in genealogical records for the particular count- ry he needs. Microfilm from that country can then be used to continue his search. In this manner, using data collected by the Church and the help of a highly trained staff which speaks, cumulatively, L.O languages, a pa- tron can trace his or her ancestry back for centuries, even into such countries as Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and even China. In fact, the Mormons have one of the world's largest collections of Chinese clan genealogies. The technology that has enabled the Mormons to store thousands of names on a single roll of microfilm is constantly being refined, and one can only imagine where it will lead. Even now, a single piece of "super microfiche," only one and one-quarter inches square, contains the en- tire text of the Holy Bible, Considering that approximately 52 million people die across the earth every year however, the Church will need such-space-saving technology in order to store the increasing number of names they will undoubtedly collect. For the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the tracing of their own family trees is a matter of deep religious conviction. The multimillion-dollar genealogy program is supported entirely by the tithes of Church members, and these members are actively encouraged to use the Library facilities to research their pedigrees. For non-Mormons, - 4 -

the mammoth collection of genealogical data provided by the Church can help bring their own families closer together. Indeed, as the technology involved expands and advances, it may well provide the knowledge so much of mankind seeks, and serve to sat- isfy the yearning of which Haley so eloquently spoke. (End) PICTURE MISSING The Great Mountain Vault provides protection for its priceless contents Another short, but fine article concerning the records of the Mormon Library is on Page 3 of Section 4 of the Chicago Tribune of Sunday, May 22, 1983 by Jack Houston. Mr. Houston says, "...The IGI (Internal Genealogical Index) is available at the church's central genealogical library...and at 375 branch libraries worldwide. Five of those branches are in Illinois, including three in the Chicago area-- Naperville, Wilmette and Chicago Heights." "Construction of a five-story library near Temple Square is to begin this summer, each floor designed to accommodate 100 computer terminals through which access to the computerized files will be avail- able." "...over 8 million names must be entered into the computer system over the next four years, beginning next year...." "The sys- tem is being developed so that branch church libraries can have access to the information through use of telecommunications systems, micro- computers or personal computers, eliminating most of the need for a research trip to Salt Lake City." As mentioned in "The Genius of Genealogy", Mr. Houston mentioned too that the church is seeking ancestral family group sheets (through the last four generations). This information is to provide a database from family group sheets for their ancestral file. Since much of the data...involve the living, access will be limited. We probably won't make the names of living people available to the public unless we have permission." So, everybody, lets help all our fellow genealogists. Hurry and get your family group sheets in to the church Library. Send to: Church of Latter-Day Saints Library, 50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150. - 5 -
