<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Premium Portal Services: There are several family history tools available through this free to access portal available on each of our center computers. Ancesty Insitution, NewspaperArchive, ArchivDigital, Fold3, Findmypast, MyHeritage Library Edition, and Puzzilla are a few of the databases offered.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Idaho Falls & Surrounding Area Obituary Collection: Most all the digital images from our obituary collection have been submitted to FamilySearch. The collection of digital images is still available at our center stored in a simple to access file folder system sorted by last name.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Church Membership Records: Our center has a large collection of LDS Church membership records on microfilm. These films, arranged by Ward, are not available in digital format, but the films are available for viewing. Due to privacy reasons, you may print information only for direct ancestors and those born 95 years ago. All other information must be crossed out. Additional LDS Church records are also available on film, with various use restrictions.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Ancestry.com: There is some overlapping content with FamilySearch (like Census records). Ancestry has different collections of imaged and indexed records, and the quality of the Census image might be clearer which could make it easier to find ancestors.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> MyHeritage: The database and search tools generally focus more of the European areas of the world, but public member trees also cover the USA. There are also photo enhancement tools available on the website.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Findmypast: Their database collection includes much of England, Ireland, Scotland, and closely surrounding areas. Although they will save your family tree and provide record hints, they do not have public family member trees. They have a partnership with Living DNA to provide DNA testing and matching.

<p style="font-family: "Raleway", sans-serif; padding: 10px;  margin: 5px;  color: #94c045;"> Filae.com: If your heritage comes from the mostly France region, then this would be a database collection you would want to search as well.
