[TI] Family History Center

[nell lamantia]

Probably the readers are expensive to maintain and very outdated.  I hope 
there will be competition out there for Ancestry.  I used to get
a Saturday every 3 or 4 months to go out the the FHC 20 miles away.  Rarely 
found much, can find so much more on the internet.
I am sad the resource at FHC will not be open much longer but appreciated it 
while it was there.
