The California Genealogical Society is pleased to announce that our Library is now a FamilySearch Affiliate Library. Affiliate libraries (whether public, special, or university) can access FamilySearch’s digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch family history center. Local patrons now have another option if they wish to access these records.
There are only a few hundred affiliate libraries in the country. The designation means our library patrons will now have greater and more convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch. The popular web service has over 6 billion searchable names and 2 billion images of historical genealogical records—and you get the helpful assistance of library staff.
FamilySearch adds over 300 million free genealogical records and images online yearly from all over the world and manages the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City. It has amassed billions of birth, marriage, death, census, land and court records from more than 130 countries to help you discover and make family connections.
We are happy to be able to provide this additional service to our visitors.
