July 2023 Newsletter



Top reasons to come to the center....

  • Get it done.  Many say, I can do my family history at home with all that the internet offers.  But, do you?  Or, does life get in the way with too many distractions?  Maybe by setting aside a time in your busy schedule to actually come to the center will help you get your family history work done.
  • No idea where to start.  Come ask for ideas about finding a place to start.  Be it with memories, researching your ancestors, switching to descendancy research, or just learning more about your family.  
  • Get assistance as needed.  From beginner to more advanced options, i.e., how to change a person's incorrect birth information or assistance in dealing with merges or separations.  Did you know we have research specialists in many areas?  Check out our Staff Speciality Page
  • Ideas for dealing with a brick wall.  Maybe you've hit a brick wall and just need another set of eyes to look over your findings.  It's amazing what someone else can see when looking at your information. 
  • Attend our classes to learn more skills.  Check out our calendar for classes from beginner to advanced options.  Everything from memories, to adding information, to editing information or relationships, consultant assistance, specific website helps, basic computer skills, etc. 
  • Digitize your family memorabilia.  We have equipment to digitize just about any media: photos, negatives, slides, audio tapes and reels, 8 mm reel movies, VHS tapes,  miniDV tapes, 8 mm movie cassette tapes, etc.  For more information, check out our Digitizing Options Page. 
  • Access to the FamilySearch Portal.  The portal allows you to access more than $400 worth of subscription-based websites for free.  Websites include: British Newspapers, Newspapers, Ancestry, Find My Past, My Heritage, American Ancestors, American Civil War, Fold 3, Kinpoint, Paper Trail, Puzzilla, and others.
