Idaho Falls Idaho FamilySearch Library

Welcome to Our Family History Center Website Family history is so much more than "just doing research". It is about:
 * "Discovery" or finding out about your ancestors and collateral line cousins you may have never met.
 * What are their stories?
 * What did they look like?
 * What were their talents or occupations?
 * "Gathering"
 * We "gather" by preserving the heritage of photos, stories, documents, audio/video recordings, and other things that we have been given
 * We "gather" by finding new family members to add to Family Tree (In the older days, we called this research, but the new FamilySearch technologies make this "research" MUCH easier)
 * We "gather" by indexing digitized records to help make them available for those searching the databases for family names
 * "Connecting"
 * We "connect" our thoughts and emotions to our deceased ancestors and collateral line cousins as we learn more about them
 * We "connect" with our LIVING collateral line cousins as we see the contributions of photos, stories, and documents that they post to our common family tree
