Walk-ins are very welcome and our team is always happy to assist with family history research.
Booking your research visit ensures that our research specialists are available and ready to help you with your research objectives. Our goal is to make the best use of your time with us as possible. Here are some ways you can prepare for your visit:
- Let us know whether you are just starting out or have done extensive research already – we can help you navigate the most popular research sites and give you some basic instruction on how to organize your ‘finds’.
- Add a note to your booking request briefly outlining what you are hoping to discover with enough detail to allow us to consider which collections to focus on during your visit.
- Bring enough of what you’ve researched already with you to give our team a greater understanding of what you are researching and the conclusions you have already made.
- Use our Names and Land Records databases (see links on the right) to look up names relevant to your search and use the search tool to send us the list before you come. This allows us to pull books and other resources aside in advance of your visit – leaving more time for finding results.
- Bring your laptop (if you use one to record your research). We can provide access via WIFI to FamiliySearch affiliate library resources not available from home.
There is no fee for using our research facilities and resources while onsite, however we do charge for copies or scans ($0.50/page) and donations are always greatly appreciated.
