 You can almost see it on the
right! by Yaqui
Also, I do know that many of the churches across the United States have facilities or have some one assigned to the duty of assisting others with genealogy.
It is FREE to the public also.

This is the outside of the Family History Library. There is a parking lot adjacent to the library that has a flat $5 fee for the entire day. It was very easy to figure all this out when we drove to the area downtown where the library is located.
We were amazed by the size of this place. It is very efficient and well run. We were given an orientation tour before we started upstairs to the stacks of books and reels of film. Leave a Comment

The library is open 72 hours a week.
It is the shorter way to gather information on the history of your family. For France, a large large part of the vital statistics are there. Leave a Comment

I had a productive week at this library. If you're already familiar with microfilm research, you can just walk in and get started at the film roll shelves/drawers. If you're new to family history research, there are instructional videos and lots of FHL volunteers willing to help you. The facilities are extremely well-kept and there is always enough space for everyone to work comfortably. The library does not have a food level or cafe - you cannot eat anywhere in the library.
One thing I wish I had known prior to my visit: if any of your films from the catalog on www.familyhistory.org show up as "VAULT," you can order those films at your local Family History Center to be sent to the FHL. Otherwise, you'll have to order them AT the FHL, and that can take a couple days to receive them there.
