Emmett Idaho Family History Center

The Emmett Idaho Family History Center helps patrons in the Gem County area. We have been established since 1989. The volunteers that staff the center (days and times below) have various genealogical experience. The Staff who are in the center give of their time so that anyone in the Gem County community can have success in locating records and .information on their deceased ancestors. The staff on regular bases are trained in various training's so that everyone is up to date. We work with patrons in all types of backgrounds from ones getting started to specially work. If the staff does not know how to work a particular situation they will try to find someone that can help you and or are willing to learn how so they can better assist the patron(s).
