  • Introduction
    The Mildred Lankerd-Thomas Genealogical Library was founded by Mrs. Mildred Lankerd-Thomas in 1973. It was started with several shelves of her own collection of research books and has moved three times to larger facilities. All of our staff are volunteers and the library is only funded by donations.

  • Scope Of The Collection
    The Mildred Lankerd-Thomas Genealogical Library's holdings include many research materials on genealogy. Resources include over 800 family histories, cemetery records, county histories, obituaries, early newspaper abstracts, maps, atlases, birth records, baptism records, the complete Armstrong County census, a surname index, town histories, church histories, church records, and American Indian, Irish, and German research helps. Our library also contains photo-copy machines, computers, microfilm readers and a microfiche reader.

  • Fees
    We ask a donation of $4.50 per day for non-members to use the Library, and $1.00 a day for student members. Members of the Armstrong County Genealogy Club can use the library and research for free.
