Evans Georgia Family History Center

Center Contacts and Hours
Welcome!

This FamilySearch Center serves anyone in the CSRA area that would like to research their family history.

The center is open to all, free of charge, and staffed with Family History Consultants happy to help you. We invite all who are interested in family history to visit our center.

The center has free access to several premium Genealogy websites listed below.

Once You Arrive:

Family History Center volunteers can show you how to use the center’s resources. To make your visit most effective, collect and organize the information you already have. Bring as much information as you have about the ancestor you wish to research, including available birth, marriage, and death information. FHC staff can help you use that information to begin creating a Family Group Record
