If you mean the Latter Day Saints Family History Centre then yes, I was taken there by a friend in the early days of researching my family tree, and they were extremely helpful. I had no idea where to start, and found my paternal grandparents as children on the 1881 census quite quickly. It whetted my appetite and I've now been able to do a lot on our home pc, with occasional visits to cross check things. They can also get hold of Parish Records and files on ancestors born in other countries. I think you'd find it's worth a visit, and don't be worried, they are super people, only too willing to help. And that's all they do - no pressure in any other direction!
