Join us for our fun-filled outing day provided in conjunction with the Harris County Precinct 3 Day Bus Trip Program.
This month we will be departing at 9 am to head downtown to the Family History Research Center at the Clayton Library Campus.
Consistently named one of the top ten genealogical libraries in the nation, the Clayton Library Campus houses a national and international collection of family history research materials in print, microprint and online. This fun trip provides an all day opportunity to look for your ancestors and to ask for individualized free professional research help. The library provides access to many online databases onsite, including MyHeritage, FindmyPast, HistoryGeo, NewspaperArchive, and MyChinaRoots.
