Research Center

AVGS has its own Genealogy Research Center housing a growing library collection of over 600 books, periodicals, and CD-ROMs. The library also offers computers with a high-speed Internet connection and free access to Ancestry.com. We welcome everyone and will help them with their research. We offer genealogy workshops in the Research Center periodically.
