Wheaton Public Library is a FamilySearch affiliate library. FamilySearch affiliate libraries have privileges through an agreement with FamilySearch to offer limited-access FamilySearch databases. The databases are viewable only within the library. When searching from outside the library, some databases show an icon with a key above a camera lens, indicating they are locked to the user. Affiliate status allows us to offer access to many of these extensive, locked records.
Use the library computers or your own laptop in the library to access these additional digital records. As with other FamilySearch records, they may be printed, saved to your Source Box or cut, pasted and saved.
TIP: Make a note of the key-and-camera icons you find in your 2 AM searches. Put them in your Source Box and pull them up the next time you’re at the library!
