Use the People field of the search to look for a particular person or name. Clicking on a name in the results takes you to a page that shows the archive record(s) that the name appears in. To view the record, visit the FAHC archive and ask the archivist to locate the record in question. This online tool searches the FAHC archive collections catalog for records where the name appears. The database contains the names included in many key genealogic records stored in the FAHC archive. More names are added over time.
