From Main St., traveling north on  Llano St.  you will pass the Pioneer Bank and turn between the Methodist Church and the Mini Mart.  The church is the white stone building at the end of the block.  We are on the same side of the street as the Mini Mart, and across from the Driftwood apartments.    If coming up Adams, we are just past the school, on the corner of Adams and Driftwood.

We have 2 microfilm readers, 3 microfiche readers and one computer.  The computer program consists of the Family Search Program, on CDs.  Family Search includes:  IGI, Ancestral File, Scottish Church Records, Social Security Death Records, Vietnam & Korean War Death Records and the Family History Library Catalog.  IGI, Ancestral File and the Family History Library Catalog are now on-line at  www.familysearch.org

By accessing the Family History Library Catalog on line, you have access to the index of all the books, microfilm and microfiche currently available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  We can not order the books, unless they have been put on microfilm, but we can order most of the microfilm and microfiche that are listed in the FHL catalog.  There are a few film and fiche that are restricted because the Church has not received written permission to copy and circulate them to the FHCs.   There are about 2 million microfilm and microfiche that can be rented.  Current rentals are:  $3.25 for a one month rental, $3.25 for a first renewal of 60 days, and $3.25 for a second renewal, which will put the microfilm on indefinite loan, which means it will stay at our FHC.  Microfiche are 15 cents each.  They must be ordered by the set, which may be only one microfiche, to hundreds of microfiche.  Check the catalog for the number of fiche in each set.

We currently have a collect of over 100 microfilm on indefinite loan, and hundreds of microfiche.  We have what is referred to as the 6000 series and includes various research aids and books.  This series of fiche will be noted in the FHL catalog as part of the Family History Center Microfiche Project.  This series of fiche will be found at all FHCs.  One example is the Stub indents of South Carolina for the Revolutionary War.

We have some records for almost every state and county, and a special collection of early Mississippi records, including early settlers west of Pearl River, with land and census records from 1792 through 1840.

We order few Gillespie county  records as the court records are available the courthouse and the census records are available at the Pioneer Memorial Library:  Our Texas Collection includes: [do an on-line search of the microfilm/microfiche numbers for a complete description.  From www.familysearch.org, select, ‘Family History Catalog’, ‘all search’ and ‘film/fiche search’.]
