Talk:Columbia Maryland FamilySearch Center

Columbia Family History Center
The Columbia Maryland Family History Center is a part of the Family History Library System of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Facilities include ten state of the art computers as well as eleven microfilm readers and two microfiche readers. We also have a small but well supplied library of materials on family history research and are a repository for microfilm and microfiche ordered by Center patrons.

We are staffed by volunteers who have experience in the field of genealogical research and are available to assist anyone who comes with their research questions. There is no charge to use the computers or the facility except a 10 cents per copy cost for printouts.

To begin researching your ancestry, find out as much as you can from immediate family. When they were born and where, who their parents were and the birth and death and marriage dates of parents and grandparents, as well as siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins.

This is a start. Once you begin we can assist you with further research as well as how to effectively organize the material you have and find additional material for your family tree.
