FamilySearch at Family History Centers.

FamilySearch is a collection of computer files containing millions of names. FamilySearch is a good place to begin your family history research. Some of the records come from compiled sources, others have been extracted from original sources. The Family History Library and many Family History Centers have computers with FamilySearch. A few FamilySearch resource files, for example, the U.S. Social Security Death Index, and the U.S. Military Index, are found on the Family History Library and Family History Center version of FamilySearch, but not on the FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service

Family History Library and Family History Centers computers with FamilySearch do not have access to the Internet, computer on-line services, networks or bulletin boards. Those services are available at many public libraries, college libraries, and private locations. Limited Internet access is on a few computers in the Automated Resource Center in the Family History Library.
