I sent an email out to the membership, but failed to put this annoucement on Facebook. The FamilySearch Center on 4450 County Road 190 (Cox Road going south from Republic Road) is having an open house for their newly revitalized center today (Saturday). A ribbon cutting is scheduled at 10 am, but the open house doesn't end until noon. The FamilySearch Centers are places where you can go to view the locked records on FamilySearch (The Library Center is an "affiliate.") It seems likely we'll be given a tour.
