The Computer Genealogy Programs below are now
available to be used and/or reviewed free at the LAFHL.
Patrons who already own or use any of the products to manage their personal family histories at home will be able to conveniently update personal files through flash drives while working at the LAFHL. You can also review and try using the other programs.

You must use one of the computers at the LAFHL and the program icon on a monitor. The icon link will take you to the genealogy program.

If you don't use any of these programs, it is suggested that you review each program's website using the links below before coming to the LAFHL.

The following are the genealogy products available free for use in the LAFHL:
