They broke ground for the new Mid-Continent Library’s Mid-West Genealogy Center in Independence, Missouri, yesterday. The new 52,000 square foot facility may rival the famed Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when finished. Congratulations to my friends, Janice Schulz, Debbie Strodtman and the staff at the Mid-Continent Library, as well as all those thousands of researchers who are waiting to do research in this new facility.
