Genealogy

The Carmel Clay Historical Society operates a genealogy computer lab at the Monon Community Center East, 1235 Central Park Dr. E in Carmel. There, patrons can use the lab to search Ancestry.com for free.

Volunteer genealogists staff the computer lab at set hours and can assist researchers navigate Ancestry.com and solve problems they encounter in their searches. The volunteers will also conduct cursory genealogy research for people trying to track down their ancestors. Volunteers will conduct two hours of research free; projects that require more time will be charged by the hour.Hours of the Genealogy Lab are Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. In 2012, the Genealogy Lab will move to the Carmel Clay Public Library, where CCHS volunteers will still be available to assist researchers.
