Library staff will give a presentation on how to get started using Ancestry.com Library Edition, Heritagehub and HeritageQuest along with other online tools.
The DC Public Library opens the door to your past with free access to Ancestry.com Library Edition, HeritageHub and HeritageQuest. This February, in honor of Black History Month, Bellevue Neighborhood Library staff will teach you to explore these powerful digital tools. After the orientation, you can set up a one on one appointment with staff to explore on your own families story. Search thousands of databases, including birth, death, immigration and military service records, U.S. census records up to 1950 and records from historical sources such as the U.S. Freedman's Bank and 19th-century federal mortality schedules, Obituaries and Graves sites just to name a few.
Individual appointments are available Monday between 9 am and 7 pm, Tuesday and Wednesday between 9 am and 4 pm and Sundays between 1 pm and 4 pm. Call the Bellevue Library at 202 243-1184 and give us your phone number and email address. Library staff will contact you to arrange a time to visit. To set up a individual appointment, you must attend one of the group meetings February 2 or February 23, 2025 at Bellevue Library.
