RootsTech is hosted by FamilySearch in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the FamilySearch Library is located. In honor of RootsTech, Search Local wants to remind everyone of the millions of digitized records from across the globe, including the states of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio that can be found at FamilySearch. To access the material, create a free account with FamilySearch. On the home page, choose "Search" from the options across the top of the screen then "Records" from the drop-down menu. To see what is available, type in a state name in the "Search by Place" box on the lower right-side of the screen.
With sixteen indexed databases specific to Indiana, twenty-seven to Michigan, and forty-one for Ohio, many of them county specific, there is truly something for everyone, whatever "Local" is home.
