Cleveland Texas Family History Center

=                               Why Family History? = Family history is more than a hobby, it’s an activity that blesses both the living and the dead. Connecting generations with the blessings of the temple serves ancestors, safeguards individuals, and strengthens families.

"GOD SETTETH THE SOLITARY IN FAMILIES.”

IT was the custom in ancient Israel to preserve the relations of their family by a carefully kept record of all its members. To trace their genealogy was an easy task. (See Luke 3:23-38). In modern times, however, among the Gentiles, this practice is not in vogue ; and many persons take so little interest in the history of their progenitors, that they can scarcely tell even the names of their grandfather and mother. We know how important it is to trace our roots and here at the Cleveland Texas Family History Center we offer access to the extensive resources available through FamilySearch International and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The center is open to the public and admission is free of charge. Everyone is welcome! We can arrange for group visits by confirmed reservation only.
