This way our staff can help on a one to one basis to personalizing an experience that will be rewarding to each attending individual. Yes, that may mean setting up 2 visits.

We want your group to enjoy being involved in their own family history, preserving memories of ancestors, becoming acquainted with ancestors’ lives and recording memories of family and being familiar with indexing.
