-"GOD SETTETH THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES.”
+The Cleveland FamilySearch Center serves patrons in the surrounding communities in and around Liberty and San Jacinto Counties.
-IT was the custom in ancient Israel to preserve the relations of their family by a carefully kept record of all its members. To trace their genealogy was an easy task. (See Luke 3:23-38). In modern times, however, among the Gentiles, this practice is not in vogue ; and many persons take so little interest in the history of their progenitors, that they can scarcely tell even the names of their grandfather and mother. We know how important it is to trace our roots and here at the Cleveland Texas Family History Center we offer access to the extensive resources available through FamilySearch International and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The center is open to the public and admission is free of charge. Everyone is welcome!  We can arrange for group visits by confirmed reservation only.

 === Volunteer at the Center  ===
-We welcome volunteers from the community to serve in the Family History Center.  It's a great way to help others and to learn by doing.  You need not be an expert.  Ability to use a computer and willingness to become familiar with the FamilySearch website and resources are key.  Contact the FHC directors at the telephone or e-mail listed above for more information.
