Hello – this is Michael and Barbara Berry – we are Directors of the Family Search Center located in Longview within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We are actively looking for volunteers to come and help individuals interested in doing Family History work.  Although we are located within the church ALL PEOPLE interested in Family History are welcome.  In fact we could use additional volunteers from varying backgrounds, cultures and beliefs. We feel diversity is really important as we try to reach out to all peoples.  

We simply want to share this valuable resource and have an opportunity to help people who may be struggling in finding resources, reference documents and navigating various softwares.  We find that many people would like to do Family History work, but don’t know where to start.  Family Search accounts are FREE and consultants offer a wide array of skills associated with gathering and verifying accurate information.  Our current volunteers are wonderful, welcoming and friendly.  We staff the center on Sundays from 1:30 pm to 3pm, Tuesdays from 10 am to 1pm and 6:30 pm to 9pm.  Even just one shift a month would provide considerable help, given we like to have at least 3 volunteers to every shift, both for adequate coverage and safety.  Our center offers 9 computers, a printer and scanner and a wealth of seasoned ideas for gathering information across various sites.  

We would LOVE TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS and hope you might want to join our team.  

Give us a call – Mike 406-596-2008 and we would gladly meet you at the center and discover how you could become a part of our team.

Our best,

Michael and Barbara Berry
