Genealogy
In our Genealogy Room we have many references to help you with your searching, as well as a computer with a link to the Library version of ancestry and a variety of information and tools to use. The room has a scanner to digitize pictures, documents , and slides. There is a wealth of local information about families, churches, businesses that we have collected over the years.
The Library has a paid Ancestry account. It can only be accessed within the Library and on Library computers. Here is the link:
