PREMIUM WEBSITES
MAKING THE MOST USE OF FAMILY HISTORY CENTERS
Although you might be content using FamilySearch.org at home, you are actually limiting yourself from other valuable resources available for free at your local FamilySearch.org library. FamilySearch.org has nearly 6,000 local facilities in 126 countries where anyone can access genealogical records and receive personal assistance with their family history. These centers include the world-famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City, large regional facilities in places like Mesa, Arizona, and Los Angeles, California, and smaller centers that are usually found inside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouses. Family history centers are open to the public and staffed by knowledgeable volunteers. Each facility offers both novices and experienced family historians the tools and resources to learn about their ancestors. Below is a list and description of free Premium Websites available at all Family Search History Centers.

FamNet formerly known as "NZ Genealogy Databases" is a largely free-to-use website, which initially expressed the hope "that eventually the system will contain a record of every ancestor of every New Zealander, and these records will contain the best information available about their subject". Quoting from its front page as updated in October 2008: "With 10,059,313 people in family trees, many with attached documents and pictures, NZGDB is already the largest collection of New Zealand Family Trees available on the web."

It contains the largest online collection of Irish genealogy links, detailed civil and Roman Catholic parish maps; a step-by-step how to section; and an extensive collection of articles on Irish heritage and genealogy.
