A reader recently received the following message in an email from Wake County Public Libraries. Access to Ancestry.com Library addition is a great plus to your library services and its availability at any of the 23 library locations is a huge bonus. If you are an occasional researcher or just don't want to invest in a personal subscription at the moment, this is an excellent way to keep your research options open! Call your local branch for details.
Message from WCPL:
As families gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, many of us may find ourselves sharing stories about our grandparents, great-aunts, great-uncles and generations that came before us. This season of gratitude is the perfect time to explore your own family history, and at Wake County Public Libraries, we can help make that journey possible.
With your Wake County Public Library card, you have free access to one of our many online databases known as Ancestry Library Edition. This is a genealogy resource of military, court, land, probate, vital and church records, directories, passenger lists and more. This resource is available on-site on library PCs only. With your library card, you can uncover stories that bring your family’s past to life and deepen your appreciation for the people and places that shaped you.
We are more than just 23 library locations filled with books; we are gateways to discovery, connection and heritage. This Thanksgiving, as you gather with friends and family, take a moment to celebrate both the stories you know and the ones waiting to be found. Visit your favorite Wake County Public Library and give this resource a try.
Ancestry Library Edition is one of our many databases. While this database is only available in the library, most others can be accessed from home with your library card. Check out the full list of databases and descriptions on our Research Page.
From all of us at the library, Happy Thanksgiving! May your holiday be filled with warmth, love and the joy of discovering where your story began.
