If you want to be part of the popular ancestry search trend, you may not need to look any further than the local library.
The Mercer Museum Research Library, operated by the Bucks County Historical Society (BCHS), is now a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means it has access to more genealogy resources to help people make more family discoveries.
There are only a few hundred affiliate libraries in the country. The designation means local library patrons will now have greater access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch. The web service has over 6 billion searchable names and 2 billion images of historical genealogical records – and individuals 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 FamilySearch 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 individuals discover and make family connections.
