Ogden FamilySearch Center/Research

 

  Personalized Family Hisory Help  At the Ogden FamilySearch Center, we have varied experiences for different groups. The descriptions below will help you decide which activities are best for your age group. Please read carefully in order to ensure a positive experience.

Discovery Area: 
 * The Discovery Area is one of the Center’s most popular activities. Six large interactive screens will help you discover more about your ancestors.
 * The Discovery Area includes 17 stations and 3 recording booths.
 * This experience is designed for adults and youth age 11 and older.
 * The Discovery experience typically lasts about 45-50 minutes.
 *  Important information to prepare for your visit:
 * Each participant should already have a FamilySearch account. Check the FamilySearch.org User ID and password of all participants to ensure they are working prior to your visit.
 * The best experience happens when guests are connected to at least four generations in their FamilySearch tree.
 * Parents/leaders are expected to be engaged with and supervise their group to prevent abuse of the equipment and inappropriate use of computers.
 * The Discovery Area is available on weekdays during our regular hours.
 * We do not currently have enough staffing to open the Discovery Area on Saturday or Sunday.
 * Groups larger than 17 people will not all be able to participate at once and will need to take turns at the stations.
 * If your group is larger than 17, please call the Center at 801.626.1132 to discuss options before scheduling.
 * Walk-ins without reservations are welcome before 5:30 PM, but groups with reservations will take priority.
 * Reservations are highly recommended at all times, especially during evening hours.
 * Groups without reservations may not be able to be accommodated and may need to come back another time.
