Assisted Research at the Family History Center

PROGRAM

The LDS Family History Center will be open on Presidents Day exclusively for our JGSLA members. Experienced JGSLA researchers will be on-hand to assist in using the Library’s resources. Computers with access to Internet genealogical databases are available and technical assistance with computer research will be provided. JGSLA’s extensive collection of Jewish genealogical source books, microfilms for available U.S. census records, passenger arrival lists, naturalization records, and international vital records, including Eastern Europe and U.S records, are also available to researchers.

At 3:30pm, Gerry Winerman, Past President, will provide an “Introduction to the Family History Center” in the Library’s classroom. If you have not previously used the Library, you will find this especially valuable. But, even if you have, you will likely obtain ideas that you can use in your Library research.

LOCATION

LDS Family History Center, 10741 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. Turn north onto Manning Ave. from Santa Monica Blvd. Make the first left into the LDS Temple compound; proceed to the right until you reach the Visitors’ Center. Park along the fence or in the lot next to the Visitors’ Center. The entrance to the Family History Center is on the east (right) side of the Visitors’ Center.

IMPORTANT

Only members whose dues are current may participate. If you have not yet renewed, you can do so at the door. And, new individuals are welcome to join the society and participate as well. This is a great opportunity to bring a friend who would like to get started or to accelerate their research.
