  Personalized Family History Help 
 * Do you want to know how to get started on your family history journey?
 * Do you have questions about FamilySearch or about your account?

 Our missionaries love to help people with their family history! They can teach you how to use the FamilySearch program and how to do research, attach sources, upload memories, and work on your family lines in many other ways. This one-on-one family history assistance is available whenever our center is open, and is provided free of charge to everyone. No appointment is needed, just come in and let us know how we can help you!


 *  Important information to prepare for your visit:
 * Each participant should already have a FamilySearch account. Check the FamilySearch.org User ID and password of all participants to ensure they are working prior to your visit.
 * The best experience happens when guests are connected to at least four generations in their FamilySearch tree.
 * Parents/leaders are expected to be engaged with and supervise their group to prevent abuse of the equipment and inappropriate use of computers.
 * The Discovery Area is available on weekdays during our regular hours.
 * We do not currently have enough staffing to open the Discovery Area on Saturday or Sunday.
 * Groups larger than 17 people will not all be able to participate at once and will need to take turns at the stations.
 * If your group is larger than 17, please call the Center at 801.626.1132 to discuss options before scheduling.
 * Walk-ins without reservations are welcome before 5:30 PM, but groups with reservations will take priority.
 * Reservations are highly recommended at all times, especially during evening hours.
 * Groups without reservations may not be able to be accommodated and may need to come back another time.
