Mount Clemens Public Library is the First and Only FamilySearch Affiliate Library in Macomb County as of October 1, 2019

We have some fantastic news to share with you!

Mount Clemens Public Library -- Our Favorite Library!

As of October 1, 2019, our favorite library — Mount Clemens Public Library — is the first and only FamilySearch Affiliate library in Macomb County, Michigan.

That means when you are in the Mount Clemens Public Library using the internet computers or your own device (like a laptop) while connected to the library's wireless network, when you sign into your personal username account on FamilySearch.org many of those "locked digitized images" that you encounter when you are searching at home or elsewhere will be unlocked and available for viewing. (Remote access is not included for MCPL card holders.)

Now there will still be some digitized images that affiliate libraries can not access requiring you a visit to a local Family History Center (FHC) (aka FamilySearch Center) or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. The nearest local FHC for most Macomb County residents is the Bloomfield Hills Family History Center on Woodward Avenue.

Our MCGG volunteers in MCPL's Local History and Genealogy Room will get some training to help patrons with the FamilySearch website. (The library staff too.) Until that happens, be patient with them. A handout to help everyone is available in the Local History and Genealogy Room.

We hope everyone enjoys this new library resource. Happy Searching Everyone!

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
