From a bright and airy building, Clallam County residents and visitors can dig into the dark recesses of their family roots at the new Clallam County Genealogical Society Research Center, 402 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles [Washington].

CCGS president Virginia Majewski said the nonprofit group, established in 1981, had outgrown the space it shared with the Clallam County Historical Society and made the decision to purchase its own building last year. After a remodel to make the structure more user friendly, it reopened just east of the Port Angeles Library in January.

The research center fits neatly into the CCGS’s mission of being “dedicated to the collection and preservation of genealogical materials and to providing supportive and educational opportunities for those who are involved in genealogical research.” Hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and from noon-4 p.m. the last Saturday of the month.
