Our missionaries love to help people with their family history! They can teach you how to use the FamilySearch program and how to do research, attach sources, upload memories, and work on your family lines in many other ways. This one-on-one family history assistance is available whenever our center is open, and is provided free of charge to everyone. No appointment is needed, just come in and let us know how we can help you!

Our staff has years of experience in family history research and are always learning new skills and techniques. Many of our missionaries have specific training and experience researching in particular countries and areas. We also have Spanish-speaking missionaries here on most shifts.
