FamilySearch Catalog: The Sears Christmas Catalog for Genealogists
Did you mark your wish list in the Sears Christmas catalog as a child? FamilySearch Catalog lists everything available in the FamilySearch Library. Many of these items are also available online, at FamilySearch Centers and Affiliated Libraries. Items include books, online materials, microfilm, microfiche, and publications.

Learn to find where the items are located and what type of media they are stored in. Search online in film images, and adjust their image or zoom in and out.

See how the FamilySearch Wiki will help find records for an area anywhere. Just like the Christmas Catalog had something for every member of the family, this catalog has something for everyone, no matter where you are researching.
