A large part of my anticipated travel would be in the north during winter. How do I learn about operation in winter...doe's and don'ts etc etc. Thanks.

It just so happens that is my MAIN hobby/passion. I was happy to see that you are giving a plug to the LDS Family History Centers. I was actually the director of the Aurora, CO FHC for several years. We had at least 30 volunteers on the staff. It was one of the busier FHC in the system. Although I haven't done much research in the past few years, I do keep up with the latest resources etc. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to contact me. The next best thing to discovering my own ancestry is helping someone else be successful in their search. I agree with the first comment - don't take anything at face value. ALL the resources out there are great helps in your research, but do your own checking on the sources. I don't mean go to the courthouse and do research someone else has already done, but to do a spot check online etc. using information you personally know is correct and compare it with the new information you are receiving. Generally a good spot check will tell you if the sources cited are correct or bogus. Unfortunatly - ANY online or printed information is frequently filled with mistakes. Since genealogy has become such a popular hobby, many people just copy someone else's information without checking it out first. If there is one mistake, it can become magnified 100 times pretty quickly. Good luck on your research. Will be looking for a report on your results.

However, be very careful of taking data at face value. The LDS site is helpful but is also full of errors, as I found when checking out my ancestors. Cross-check everything and don't accept anything as gospel (no pun intended) until you have documentation, real historical documentation, not hearsay. Geneaology is great fun, and informative, too.
