“FamilySearch’s vision is to enable meaningful journeys that bring joy to people everywhere as they discover, gather, and connect their families—past, present, and future. We offer free access to an extensive collection of historical records, a collaborative family tree, and tools to help individuals connect with relatives and explore their heritage. FamilySearch also provides many discovery experiences for people of all ages to experience the joy of learning about their family and ancestors.
We’re pleased to welcome Yarra Plenty Regional Library as a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, giving local residents even more opportunities to discover, preserve, and share their family history.”
