Bruce County Public Library is excited to add a new service to its in-person resources.
The library has added the FamilySearch service, which is a volunteer-driven genealogy resource.
Assistant director Joanna Agard says that the resource is available now to anyone at the county’s 17 libraries, and also at the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre.
“You can basically put in your name or your grandparent’s name and it brings up records and other people’s family trees,” she says. “It can help you research your family’s history. It has actual images of people’s marriage records, and birth and death registries. It’s just fascinating just spending time poking around and seeing what you can find.”
FamilySearch has over 6 billion searchable names and 2 billion images of historical records.
Records include birth and death certificates, marriage records, and census records.
