Family history center for genealogical research

Genealogy is one of my favorite pastimes. Obsession, even.

I have now been in Moss nearly a year and had not realised the Mormons have a Family Center at their local church.
The fact that non Mormons can use the facilities, is a blessing for any genealogist.


The address is Nesveien 29, 1513 Moss and they are open on Wednesdays from 17.00 -21.00 and on Thursdays from 17.00 - 21.00.


What do they have there, according to a flyer I received?
Around 500 microfilms, with most of the church books from the fylke of Oestfold.
2 PCs with internet connection.
2 microfilm readers
One microfiche reader
Family Search databases on CD
Written material (books, magazines etc)
Volunteers to help you.

Report will follow after I have been there.
