Curious find ancestors and answers in Mesa, Ariz.
On a given day, about 75 people, including many Gilbert residents who have banded into genealogy clubs, come to the Mesa Regional Family History Center with a common query: "Who am I, and who are my ancestors?"
They couldn't have chosen a better place to ask.
Run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the center offers personalized help, along with 20,000 books, 500 maps, 200,000 rolls of microfilm and 52,000 microfiche among a myriad other sources to help people draw their family tree.
Researching family history and identifying ancestors is bound up with the Mormon doctrine.
