NEWS RELEASE
GUELPH PUBLIC LIBRARY
*************************
If you want to be part of the popular ancestry search trend, you need not look any further than your local library. The Guelph Public Library is now a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means it has access to a large variety of genealogy resources to help you make more family discoveries.
There are only a few hundred affiliate libraries in the North America. The designation means local 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.
“Libraries are wonderful local gathering places for learning. We are excited to have Guelph Public Library as our newest FamilySearch Affiliate Library. It will help FamilySearch expand opportunities for fun, personal discoveries and family connections to the local community,” said Paul Nauta, FamilySearch Public Relations Manager.
FamilySearch adds over 300 million free genealogical records and images online yearly from all over the world. 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.
To get started, visit the Main Library (100 Norfolk Street) to access this resource on any computer. Explore your family history today!
