If you're wanting to learn more about genealogy, you're in luck as Richland (Washington)Public Library has a new database for folks to use.

Heritage Hub, the online genealogy resource, can be used to discover obituaries, funeral home notices, and other articles spanning more than 300 years.

Not only that, but the database can pull content from all 50 U.S. states and territories.

Whether you're interested in your ancestry or doing a school project, Heritage Hub is available for free.

"A lot of people like trying to figure out maybe like, family history, or maybe things that happened in the past, and so they're just trying to put information together. Sometimes people are just curious about family history. I remember in school I had to do a family tree, and so that would've been a nice resource to have for those types of projects," said Michael Scarfo, User Experience Supervisor for Richland Public Library.

You can use it at the library or at home, but you'll need your Richland Public Library card number if you're accessing it from home.

To reach the database, click here, then scroll down until you see the Genealogy category, and then click on Heritage Hub.

From there, you will be prompted to enter your Richland Public Library card number.

After that, you will then be free to use the database by typing in the first and last name of a person, death year if you have that, and any other keywords that could help you find who you're looking for.
