Are any of the FHCs open in the UK?

I've established that the Swansea, Cardiff and Merthyr FHCs are all closed until further notice. Preston FHC is not responding to voicemail or email messages.

Does anyone know whether any of the UK FHCs are open?

Hi Gavin

The opening of the Family History Centres is the decision of the local Stake Presidents who will do so when they deem all the precautions etc are safely in place. I understand that some are beginning to open but not actually who, which doesn't help you at this time. All I can suggest at this time is to keep checking which I know is frustrating for you but the Help Centre will give you the addresses and phone numbers which it looks as though you are already using.

Hopefully someone close to where you are looking will be able to help further.

Hello Gavin!! .. As Caroline says, it is the decision of each stake president in the la region that FHC is in, considering the sate of pandemic that the country and/or region are in.

If you need to access any type of the collection during this time, you can make an appointment with the Family History Library of Salt Lake city.

We send you the link, to access that site and thus request a virtual appointment :
