Each year the Genealogical Society of Kendall County sponsors a research trip to the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our next trip is scheduled from Sunday, September 8, 2024 to Sunday, September 15, 2024.

The Family History Library contains vast resources of genealogical data from all parts of the world – many are not online or available online to the public. It is the largest genealogical library in the world.

The research trip package includes:

Library orientation Monday morning

Research assistance from experienced and trained library staff

Six days of research at the FamilySearch Library

Monday: 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Tuesday–Thursday: 9:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.
Friday–Saturday: 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
