Oakland FamilySearch Library

This was my sister's and my 1st visit to any FamilySearch library. This one is located on the expansive campus of the LDS Temple in Oakland. The grounds of the complex are worth a visit by themselves, with rows of colorful flowers of many varieties, waterfalls, and fantastic views of San Francisco, the bay, and at least two bridges. Despite a lower number of assistants than usual, due to summer vacations and illness, the staff volunteers were extraordinarily helpful from the first inquiry telephone call we made all the way through assisting us in finding most of the sources for which we were searching, along with pointing us in the direction of additional documents we were previously unaware of.
