Lambton County Library becomes FamilySearch Affiliate Library

Wyoming, ON – Lambton County Library is now a designated FamilySearch Affiliate Library. As an affiliate library, library patrons now have expanded access to 400 million exclusive digital images and records not available to standard FamilySearch users.

To access these exclusive resources, patrons must connect through Lambton County Library networks by either:
• Using a public computer at any of the 25 Lambton County Library locations.
• Connecting to the library’s public wi-fi with a personal device.

“This new partnership will expand the research material that is available to library patrons who are conducting family history research,” said Darlene Coke, Manager, Library Services. “Whether you’re just beginning to explore your family history or are an experienced genealogist, these additional records may help people build their family tree or help provide new leads to solve some longstanding gaps in their research.”

FamilySearch, the world's largest genealogy organization, provides access to over 6 billion searchable names and 2 billion images of historical records. FamilySearch users have access to birth, marriage, death, census, land and court records from over 130 countries, and 2 billion historical images.

“Libraries are cornerstone institutions for local learning,” said Paul Nauta, FamilySearch Public Relations Manager. “We are thrilled to welcome Lambton County Library as a FamilySearch Affiliate Library. This partnership expands opportunities for local communities to make personal discoveries and connect with their family histories.”
