Genealogy researchers now have another tool to use for finding those elusive records and ancestors. Ancestry.com has been added to computer databases in the InfoTrac. While Ancestry.com's site can be accessed from any internet computer in the libary, it cannot be accessed from home. Ancestry.com has the following available: U.S. and Canadian Census indexes, obituaries, marriage, birth and death records, genealogical magazine indexes and much more.

Another new addition to genealogical research is the complete catalog of the U.S. Census and other government records on microfilm. Now you can research the catalog to locate the microfilm roll needed and order it to be sent to our library through the interloan system. There is no charge for this service. See the reference librarian at the information desk at the library, or call 810-229-6571 for further information.
