FamilySearch Centers provide the basic tools for individuals and families to fulfill their divinely appointed responsibility to discover their families and submit their names for temple ordinances.
Centers…
- Provide computers and training on the computers to add images, documents, and memories to link generations together and to preserve a family’s stories.
- Help people use electronic record collections that are only available free in a FamilySearch Center or in the main FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City due to copyright restrictions made with the main library.
- Help Church members prepare names to take to the temple, or share them with others so others can take them to the temple.
- Train consultants to teach their immediate family and their ward members how to quickly find and provide evidence to take their own family names to the temple.
- Keep others up-to-date on FamilySearch changes. Changes are inevitable as the tools expand to handle all the necessary records to identify Heavenly Father’s children.
