Lambton County Library cardholders can now take a more in-depth look at their family histories after the service provider recently became a designated FamilySearch Affiliate Library.
FamilySearch is noted as the world's largest genealogy organization, read a media release.
As an affiliate library, Lambton patrons have expanded access to 400 million exclusive digital images and records not available to standard FamilySearch users.
“This new partnership will expand the research material that is available to library patrons who are conducting family history research,” said Library Services Manager Darlene Coke. “Whether you’re just beginning to explore your family history or are an experienced genealogist, these additional records may help people build their family tree or help provide new leads to solve some longstanding gaps in their research.”
Patrons will only be able to access the resources through a public computer at any of the 25 Lambton County Library locations or by connecting to the library’s public wi-fi with a personal device.
FamilySearch users have been able to access items such as birth certificates, census record, land and court records from over 130 countries, and two billion historical images.
Further details can be found on the library's website.
