FamilySearch This article describes the services and resources available at a FamilySearch Centre, a branch facility of the FamilySearch Library.


The Harrogate Family History Centre serves the area of North Yorkshire containing the towns of Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripon & Thirsk. It is a relatively small Centre with limited resources, so it is important to make an appointment to reserve equipment for your use. We have a small team of six enthusiastic volunteers.
