=== Planning a Visit[edit | edit source] ===

Our Family History Center is staffed by Regional Family History Consultants who can help get you started with family history research. They can guide you in using Family History Center resources and equipment. If you're planning a visit to our center to begin your genealogy, write down what you know about the family you wish to research: Names, birth / marriage / death dates, and Birth /Marriage / Death City and State. Choose a research goal: for example - 2 generations back. This will help our volunteers to best teach you where to look.
