We can assist you in using Family Search. We are open Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm, except any holiday closures noted above. You do not need an appointment to come in, these are walk-in hours, and a consultant will be available to assist. Coming in person is the best way to receive assistance. We look forward to seeing you!

Some Family Search databases and collections are only accessible at a designated Family History Center. If you have run into that issue you are welcome to use our computers to access these materials, or to access them on your own laptop or device in the Center using the Center's wifi.
