Are there any FamilySearch Centers at all in West Texas

If there isn't a FamilySearch center close by you can call the center and ask them to assist you via the Help others feature, Splashtop and Zoom conferencing which will allow you to do it from your home with the center.

sc, The most usual reason I would go to a center would be to get copies not available from online at home. I am at a loss. I've probably been on line everyday since online opened in 2012? but there is a local center here if I need it. Yikes. Maybe the only solution would be to save up all those pages and make a day visit to El Paso or Midland. Hmmmm.

Sorry about the distance. Maybe is it time to see if your area can open a FamilySearch center. I know it is not an answer that will help you at this moment and you still have to drive a considerable distance to accomplish your goals. Good luck.

I was just looking at the availability of Church buildings around Marfa or Fort Davis, but they seem to all be branch buildings. There's Alpine, and then much, much farther away, Ojinaga Mexico, Pecos, Ft Stockton and Monahans.
I'm seeing references to affiliate libraries, so I would ask the folks here if public libraries and such can be part of the FamilySearch center system? Unless that location between El Paso and Midland has a Nauvoo period of Latter-day Saint growth soon (ya never know), getting a public library involved might be the closest answer.

This link is about Affiliate Libraries
Scroll to the bottom and there is a section about how a library such as a public library can apply to become an affiliate library.

That'd be quite amazing if a local library nearby could or would become an affiliate. It could enrich local lives in previously unthought-of ways.
