Family History Place
Be sure to visit our excellent research facility, The Family History Place. We are located at 114 E. Blanco Street in Boerne, Texas. We are open to the public and free to visit. Volunteers are on hand to assist researchers of all levels with tools, techniques, and problem-solving. Through a special partnership with the Family History Library of Salt Lake City, The Family History Place is now designated as a Family Search Center which provides enhanced access to genealogical records. This partnership has increased the number of free genealogical databases and websites available to all visitors. In addition, it increases the user's ability to have a higher level of access to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Membership is open to all who are interested in family history, whether local or remote. Donations support the continued preservation of records, local history, and community programming.
