FamilySearch Desk – National Library

Volunteers from various Greater Wellington NZSG Branches provide support for FamilySearch at the National Library.  The National Library is an affiliate FamilySearch library so there is access to millions of records you can’t get at home.

Volunteers are available from 10am – 2pm every day the Library is open.
