LIBRARY HELPS WITH TRACING FAMILY TREES
New Internet resource lets Enid citizens discover their roots
The Public Library of Enid & Garfield County has a new resource that uses technology to make tracing family trees easier. Ancestry Library Edition, a Web-based reference tool from ProQuest, will allow Enid residents to start exploring their roots by searching a surname. Ancestry Library Edition stores millions of records online and checks them instantly for the name, revealing such details as military, birth and death records, past addresses, and even immigration information.
Ancestry Library Edition is available on the library's public workstations only, not from home. To get the most out of the experience, come prepared with a list of ancestors to research. Once connected to Ancestry Library Edition, patrons will find a friendly opening screen that asks for the name of the person to be searched. Users can key in the name, click on "Search" and Ancestry Library Edition scans its vast selection of U.S. census data, birth, marriage, and death records, military information, Social Security death records, and immigration lists. It also includes an extensive collection of information from the U.K., including images from English and Welsh census records, and civil registrations. Additionally, probate records dating back to the 1500's are included from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Various information that patrons locate can be a valuable key to their past.
