Family History Library Record Lookup Service
For guests who are not able to visit the library, we offer a free lookup service.
From what materials can lookups be requested?
Lookups can be requested for books, films, CDs, or digital images.
What information do I need to provide?
Please provide the specific film/DGS number, title or call number of a book, and information about the specific page or record you are seeking.
How will you get me the information?
We will email you an image of the record or the relevant pages of the book, film, or digital image.
Are there any limitations?
Due to copyright restrictions, we are unable to copy large numbers of pages from any one film or book, and some collections we are not permitted to provide any copies from. Please also keep in mind that this is not a research service.
What else is helpful to know?
This service is available in 15 languages to help you access records from countries worldwide. Sometimes books at the Family History Library are also available through other sources. For additional information about the Library lookup service click here.
