End of the course but the research continues

Today was the last day of classes but there is still research opportunities for this afternoon and this evening as well as tomorrow. Unfortunately the library is closed on Sundays…

This afternoon Jane and Doris and I had a bit of a road trip up to Park City and the Utah Olympic Park nearby - about 32 miles (48km) south east of Salt Lake City.

The Utah Olympic Park was the venue for the ski jumping, bob-sled, luge and free-style jumps took place for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

We had a wander through the small museum/exhibition presenting various bits of history about the area, the skiing Hall of Fame and the olympics. The theatrette was showing a film about the 2002 Winter Games and as we entered it happened to be showing a segment about Alisa Camplin - Australian Gold Medal winner for the Women's Aerial Freestyle Skiing…

Park City is a bit further up the road and was, back in the 19th Century was a mining community. During the 80s and 90s it has a resurgence as a tourist location. The main street is now seemingly filled with art galleries, restaurants and souvenir shops. All very nice but just a little bit to trendy…

Back down in the library the rest of the afternoon and evening was quite productive in it's own way. Although I haven't definitive answers on Daniel Davis' line (it requires the purchase of some certificates that will take a few week to arrive), I have some good, specific research plans.

Tomorrow is the last day in the library so I plan to complete the look ups for Williams Rowland's siblings in the parish registers.
