Are You Getting All You Can From Your Public Library?

August 27, 20241 min read

One of the greatest innovations in genealogy is the internet and the resulting ability to work at home on our own schedule.  Many public libraries make this even easier.  Many are aware libraries often provide access to fee based sites at their locations.; however, many don't realize you can sometimes access that same information at home through your library.  For instance, the Dallas Public Library allows its residents to access fee based sites such America's Genealogy Bank, America's Obituaries and Death Notices, Fold3 (Military Records), Dallas Morning News Archive and many others.  You must have a library card to access these services, but some libraries offer a great deal of information to all users.  So first check your local library, then check the library where you are focusing your family research.  You never know what they can do to make your life easier and free is always a good thing!
