Family History Library Block Party

When is the Family History Block Party?
Due to the current restrictions on large public gatherings the Family History Library Block Party will be canceled for 2020. Our care and concern for the welfare of our friends and neighbors is our first priority.

We will continue to update this page with news for the 2021 Family History Library Block Party.
