We currently need access to a local library or archival research facility to continue our testing. Please be aware that because of COVID-19, we will need to place all testing on hold until archives and repositories are reopened. We are unable to anticipate when we can safely resume our testing and will not resume testing until our volunteers’ and applicants’ health and safety are protected. When we resume testing, we will start testing at the Family History Library. Then we will assess localities on a case by case basis based on local health guidelines. We hope you understand and know that we care about you and your project. Thank you for your understanding.
