Working at the Family History Center has been such a blessing in my life. Working with patrons to help them find their lost ancestors and feeling their joy makes it exciting for my husband and me. Before the time of GPS, I remember how my we would plan a weeklong vacation going to the areas where our ancestors lived and visiting courthouses, cemeteries, funeral homes, and historical societies trying to find a few records.We would take time to map out the location from one place to the next so our travels would be organized. We would have the list of names we were searching so when we went to that courthouse or historical society we knew exactly who we wanted to find.
Now, it’s either coming to our Family History Center to get help from trained consultants or working on your computers from home. How grateful we should be that most of this information is at our fingertips. Just yesterday, I happened to go online and found someone had put a picture of my 3rd Great Grandparents who came over from Germany in 1828. Technology is wonderful!
