Family History Center

The Family History Center in Benton Harbor is a branch library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that is open to the public. The Family History Center is a great resource for ordering films from the Salt Lake library on either a short-term rental or extended loan. The Berrien County Genealogical Society has ordered in all of the vital records that have been microfilmed for Berrien County on extended loan and you are welcome to come in and view them. The FHC has two microfilm readers and two microfiche readers for your convenience. The FHC also has the full program of Ancestry.com that is available for your use. There is a staff that will be happy to help you get started on your research (free of charge). Cindy Frie and Aloma Custer, BCGS board members, staff the Family History Center on Thursday evenings. Periodically the BCGS will hold classes and workshops at the FHC. Watch this website for details. For More Info Please Check out Family Search.org
