Become a detective and seek out the documents and other information necessary to trace your family’s roots and discover those family secrets for yourself.  Dearborn Public Library is pleased to announce the availability of Ancestry Library Edition, an important genealogy database supplied by Proquest, Inc.

Ancestry Library Edition can only be used while at the library, but it can be accessed at any of the four locations – Bryant, Esper, Snow or Henry Ford Centennial.

Ancestry Library Edition is a joint effort between Proquest and Ancestry.com and provides unprecedented access to family history via documents that record the lineage of more than five billion individuals.

Census, immigration, court, military, birth and death records for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe and Australia can all be found inside this one powerful resource.

A short introduction video on the library homepage at www.dearbornlibrary.org will help you learn more about what Ancestry Library Edition has to offer. To access Ancestry Library Edition directly, visit any Dearborn Public Library during regular library hours.

For more information, contact Dearborn Public Library at (313) 943-2330.
