What information did you have to provide to the bishop? Looks like I'll be going down the same route

I haven't done it (yet), so I don't know, other than they want you to prove your lineage to the record in question, or as close to proof as possible.  Mine is from late 1700s, so the links aren't airtight, but certainly arguable.
Please post what happens with yours.

Hi Loo,
Did you ever get to Utah? Sounds like you have been diligently doing lots of research over the years, so I would imagine that you eventually made the trip? I went a couple years ago - solo - and it was wonderful. A bit overwhelming at first, but I did manage to find lots of microfilms of BMD records that applied to my ancestors.
*Bring a notebook and carefully record every search and film# that you look at, because there is so much good information that the rabbit trails multiply so fast and before you know it, you don't know where you've been or where you're going to next!

A long time ago.

Great scenery, hiking, camping, skiing, wildlife, fossils.

I thought about it in my teens but nothing to do with genealogy (maybe the prospect of descendants though)  ???

When I was head over heels with Donny Osmond  ;D

No, I never got there, and probably won't at this stage of my life.
However, the good news is that they tell me they are planning to put everything online eventually at familysearch.
And I do seem to have enough to keep me busy with interlibrary loan as well as new info coming online and visits to other places.  When would I ever find the time to go to Utah? :-\

The best advice is to prepare for your trip to the Genealogical Library for many months ahead with notebooks of everything you want to research with film/book numbers already known.

Best place to stay - Salt Lake Plaza Hotel which is next door to the library. Trax Light Rail US $1.25 fare from the Salt Lake Airport for to the hotel for the 65's and over and a savage $2.50 for the rest. The light rail stop is at the hotel.
