Genealogy
FamilySearch is the world’s largest repository of free genealogical records and manages the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Harford County Public Library is an affiliate library for FamilySearch, and researchers will have access to millions of restricted FamilySearch digital images that were previously limited to viewing only in family history centers. This includes exclusive access to approximately 25% of the 1.5+ million rolls of microfilm already converted to digital images.
Access to this enhanced digital content is available ONLY in the Bel Air Branch using public library computers there. There is no remote access for in-home use.
