Dayton Ohio East FamilySearch Center

Dayton Ohio East Family History Center (FHC) is a branch of FamilySearch and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah (United States). Our goal is to provide free resources to assist you in the research and study of your genealogy and family history by:

• Giving personal one-on-one assistance to patrons • Providing access to genealogical records through the Internet and the microfilm loan program • Offering free how-to classes

Consisting of computers, related family history programs, internet access and open 25 hours per week, the Dayton Ohio East (DOE) Family History Center is a stand-alone center. We have a collection of CDs, books, historical material and digital-imaging equipment, with the ability to copy film and fiche to your USB drive, CD or paper. Microfilm and microfiche readers are also available. We have a staff of dedicated volunteers. Our more experienced volunteers are able to help with specific research challenges. There is no cost to visit a Family History Center. We are a non-profit organization open to anyone with an interest in genealogical research.
