Resources in the Local Area
We have a local chapter of Baxter County Genealogical Society here in Mountain Home and the Marion County Genealogical Society just a few miles west of us.

We have several cemeteries within this area and quite a few in the surrounding areas as well.

This area is rich in history as we are not to far from a minor Civil War battle, and we are on one of the Trail of Tears.

Volunteer at the Center
We are always look for people who can volunteer their time to help others do their family research. You don't have to be an expert as we can train you. We need people who can work well with others and be able to help them to achieve what ever goal they have at that time. A consultant needs to be patient and caring as those qualities are so important when helping others who are frustrated with their research.
