Things to know while the Portal is down:

 * You will not be able to access restricted images on FamilySearch that you need to be in a Family History Center to view. You may be able to view these images at a FamilySearch Affiliate Library ... nearby options are the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library in Fremont, and the Monroe County Library-Ellis Library & Reference Center in Monroe, Michigan.  You might want to check with them before visiting.
 * You will have access to FamilySearch and the internet.
 * You will have access to microfilm and microfiche.
 * You will have access to the copier/scanner and printer.
 * You will have access to volunteers who will do their best to assist you and answer your questions.
