DAVENPORT, IOWA (July 11, 2022) — If you want to be part of the popular ancestry search trend, you may not need to look any further than the Library. The Davenport Public Library is now a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, which means it has access to more genealogy resources to help you make more family discoveries. FamilySearch is a world leader in family history.

There are only a few hundred affiliate libraries in the country. The designation means library patrons will now have greater and more convenient access to the wealth of genealogical resources available through FamilySearch. The popular web service has over 6 billion searchable names and two billion images of historical genealogical records — and you get the helpful assistance of library staff.
