It's Family Tree Time!


Brown Library now offers ancestry.com, an online subscription based Web site for family history and genealogy research. Come in and explore our local history and genealogy room located within the reference section of the library. This genealogy room houses a 2,000-volume collection and includes U.S. census records, archival and marriage records, manuscripts, local cemetery records, and back issues of the Washington Daily News (on microfilm).

Check out this link to view some online tutorials, or webinars, on searching records through ancestry.com. This site is extremely helpful for those new to the search process.
