I have the details for interim Family History Affiliate access now. I heard from Carrie Lee, the adult services manager at Cameron Village Regional Library last week. She confirms that access to the FamilySearch database at CVRL is now live. There is only one dedicated computer for this service. To use: Check in with a staff member at the reference desk – second floor. Staff will get you logged in.   CRVL is located at  1930 Clark Ave. Raleigh, NC 27605 It is wonderful that CVRL has worked through the paperwork process to make this irreplaceable access available during the time that ORL is out of commission. WCGS is surely appreciative of all the staff at CVRL has done to accommodate us and make us feel welcome! Return to the WakeCoGen Website
