Changes

'''Update effective 6 July 2021'''. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City reopened 6 July 2021 after being closed since March 13, 2020, due to precautions pertaining to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Some FamilySearch Centres and FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries are also '''open''', depending on location. This is a decision which is made '''locally'''. If you live in an area where churches and libraries generally are open, check with your local FamilySearch Centre and/or check with your local Affiliate Library about FamilySearch access. In addition<br>'''Update effective 12 August 2021'''. A new computer portal for accessing restricted records was introduced at FamilySearch Centres ('''not''' Affiliate Libraries) which requires changes to each computer in the FamilySearch Centre. Before visiting a FamilySearch Centre check that the portal is fully functional, so that restricted records can be accessed.<ref>[https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/102177/family-history-center-portals Family History Center Portals] FamilySearch Community Forum 15 September 2021.
