Better Family Research for Free

We recently discovered that a very expensive family history resource is available for free at county public libraries! Ancestry.com has a library edition that has some limitations but is available for public use at the library.

For those who haven’t started working on their family history, visit the library, type in a few names of you ancestors and see what pops up. You might be surprised!

A great place to get started is by looking at free online images of death certificates. See http://historyresearch.utah.gov/indexes to search Utah records.

Deseret News archives can be viewed at http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/unews/ and provides a great reference if you have ancestors that lived in the valley.

Another great resource is the LDS Family History Library.
