Apex, North Carolina FamilySearch Center
590 Bryan Dr., Apex, NC 27502
This workshop is designed to help participants discover their own ancestors using the rich resources of the Apex FamilySearch Center—a local branch of the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, the world’s largest family history library.
FamilySearch holds one of the most extensive collections of Jewish genealogical records anywhere. Todd Knowles, Deputy Chief Genealogical Officer for FamilySearch and a leading expert in Jewish family history, emphasizes that knowing what’s available—and how to use it effectively—is key to uncovering meaningful connections.
Attendees will receive personalized guidance from experienced staff, including Jim Heddell, retired professional genealogist and founder of one of the world’s largest family history firms. Jim, who has worked for several years with FamilySearch and previously with Ancestry.com, will demonstrate proven strategies for finding records across those platforms and the 20+ premium genealogy websites available free of charge at the Center.
Participants are encouraged to submit their specific research projects several weeks in advance, allowing Jim and the FamilySearch Center staff time to identify the best approaches and resources for each case.
