Are you considering attending the CGS trip to Salt Lake City? We’re pleased to present a brief interview with Lisa Gorrell, currently CGS' Recording Secretary, on this upcoming adventure. The FHL is an incredible archive, with 2.4 million reels of microfilm, 727,000 microfiche, 346,000 books, 4,500 periodicals and over 3700 electronic resources. Embark on your family history research and explore new sources while accompanied by other CGS members!
The 15th Annual Family History Library Research Tour to Salt Lake City will happen April 26-May 3 2015. Lisa Gorrell is one of the leaders for this year’s visit, together with Jim Sorenson, Board Member & Chair of the CGS Research Committee.
Why did you agree to become one of the leaders for this year’s trip? How do you see your role?

| Lisa S. Gorrell |
This is Jane Lindsey's last year to lead the group and she asked me if I would like to lead to group in the future. This year I am learning the "ropes" by completing all of the behind the scenes duties. I will also be available during the trip for research help.
Lisa, can you tell us what each level of genealogy researcher (beginner, intermediate, advanced) can gain from going to Salt Lake with CGS?:
Researchers of all levels will benefit from accompanying us on the trip. We will have expert researchers to assist individuals with research problems before and during the trip. Anyone can sign up for a pre-consultation meeting before the trip and there will be times to have consultations at the library. Also, the library has resources for all levels of researchers: books, microfilms, microfiche, computers, and classes taught during the week. The British floor and International floor have research assistants who can help translate foreign language records.
What’s the most fun you’ve had on a trip to SLC?
I always have fun on a trip to Salt Lake City. The thrill of finding new information about my ancestors, the conversations with fellow participants, and the walks through Temple Square with the lovely flowers blooming are all highlights of past trips I have made.
