General Comment from Michael: I am aware that some of you do not have MyHeritage on your computer systems – This program is available within the FamilySearch Center portal. This ‘Learning Moment’ is long, but there was a lot of material that is new.
Added Comment from Steve: MyHeritage Library Edition is also available via the Pierce County Library System, as was noted in the "what's where and how" page posted on this NBGS, here.
