Staff Research Specialties
Our FSC is staffed by local volunteers who can help get you started with family history research. They can guide you in using FSC 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, dates, and places -- and choose a research goal. This will help our volunteers to best assist you. Please call to calendar group visits in advance.
