Genealogy Department


Visitors to the library who are interested in local history and genealogy are welcome to explore our David H. Prager Memorial Genealogy Department established in 2005.  Here you will find:



  • The "Freeport Journal" on microfilm 1885-1932
  • Various census on microfilm
  • Cemetery records (local)
  • Free computer access to Ancestors.com
  • Birth, death, and marriage records taken from the Freeport Journal

A recent addition to our Genealogy website information has been contributed by Bridget, who found very concise and thorough information on Ellis Island during her research for a school history project.
