Collin, Hunt County libraries offer resources for ancestral research

Searching for family history and digging deep to find all the roots to the branches on your family tree can be a daunting task, but equally so it can be an exciting and rewarding endeavor.

Many people are lucky enough to have ancestors who have done their part to keep a fairly accurate record of family history.

It will save you a lot of time and work.
