The Madison County Library is now a Family Search Affiliate Library. Visit the library and we can help you create a Family Search account and help you get started on researching your family history and creating a family tree. 

"Hundreds of FamilySearch affiliate libraries are helping extend FamilySearch’s services to millions of patrons worldwide. Although FamilySearch manages the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and over 5,000 family history centers throughout the world, it recognizes the invaluable need for library affiliates to help more patrons make personal family history connections. 

Affiliate libraries (whether public, special, or university) have access to FamilySearch’s digital genealogical collections that are otherwise accessible only through a FamilySearch family history center. FamilySearch also provides its affiliates with the latest tools and tips for genealogy reference librarians." 

 The Madison County Library is a Department of Madison County and is governed by the Judge and the Commissioners. Their contact information is available here:
