    Good morning!

    I was wondering what archives have worked directly with FamilySearch and if you would mind me reaching out to you? A colleague of mine would appreciate speaking with archives that have done so.

    Hi Cathrine,

     

    We are currently working with FamilySearch.  They have a volunteer senior couple currently digitizing records on-site at our off-site location where I am based.  I would be more than willing to talk with you and/or your colleague.

    Hi Catherine,

     

    I will forward your request herewith to the Head of Our Public Services, Aaron McWilliams., for a response. I have had zero experience with Family Search.

     

    Cheers,
    -Kurt
