The Washington DC FamilySearch Center is a free community resource dedicated to helping people discover their ancestors, preserve their family memories, and connect with the stories that have shaped their lives.
Located next to the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors’ Center in Kensington, Maryland, the Center welcomes everyone—regardless of experience, background, or religious affiliation. Whether someone is beginning with a single name or has spent decades researching generations of family, our volunteers are here to help.
Visitors have access to genealogy resources, research technology, historical records, and experienced volunteers who provide individual assistance. The Center also offers classes and special-interest groups where researchers can learn new skills and work alongside others who share their interests.
Family history is more than names and dates. Photographs, home movies, voices, letters, and family stories help us understand the people behind the records.
Our Memory Lane provides equipment for preserving these treasures digitally, including photographs, slides, negatives, VHS tapes, 8mm and Super 8 films, and audio cassettes. Families can transform aging media into digital files that can be shared and preserved for future generations.
There is no charge to visit the Center or receive assistance, and no religious affiliation is required. Our purpose is simple: to provide a welcoming place where people can discover where they came from and preserve what they find.
Every family has a history worth discovering. Every photograph has a story. Every memory preserved today becomes a gift to someone tomorrow.
Come discover your family—and help preserve its story for generations to come.
