==== '''Things to Bring With You When You Visit The Family History Center''' ====
 
*Place any records (birth/death certificates, etc.) along with names, dates, places you are aware of or have found into a box. Organize them by family surname, dates, or places. You may choose to bring a notebook with this information or actually bring the box.
*We recommend you enter the knowledge you have gathered into a genealogical software program of your choice. FamilySearch has a list of approved programs. If you prefer to use Personal Ancestral File (PAF), you can now compare your data with FamilySearch Family Tree by submitting a GEDCOM.
*Decide what you would like to achieve and then bring any information you already have with you. Please check the hours we are open.
*Complete and bring your Pedigree Chart, Family Group Sheets or your PAF (or other genealogical data program) backup file on a flash drive (memory stick) for transporting information back and forth from your home to the Family History Center.
*To obtain forms such as blank Pedigree Charts, Family Group Sheets and others click here or you may choose to go to: http://www.byub.org/ancestors/charts/.
*If additional research help is needed, call ahead to make sure someone will be available to assist you in your search.&nbsp;
*When coming to the Library, be sure to have a small amount of change to pay for any copies that you want.&nbsp;<br>
