"Ultimately, the great truths of family history don't live in any book. They live in the hearts and minds of the living descendants. They live in the way we conduct our lives, in the passing of traditions and values to those who will follow."Laurence Overmire, A Revolutionary American Family: The McDonalds of Somerset County, New Jersey

FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY DONATIONS We want to help you preserve the books and volumes of your ancestors. Because the Ogden FamilySearch Center is not set up to copy family genealogy books, journals and biographies, we want to introduce you to another option. The Family History Library encourages families to donate originals or copies of these materials to be digitized and preserved for posterity. These materials become available in a searchable database. This means that your family stories are preserved for your posterity. Once accepted and digitized by the Family History Library, you will be able to search any family name or place and find your ancestors’ writings. The following link will take you to the Family History Library guidelines and submission form. Click here for the submission guidelines and form. Donate a Book to the Family History Library
