Needs From: Baltimore County Volunteers

Volunteer: Historic Person Re-enactor

The FamilySearch Center seeks volunteer re-enactors for a Carrie Murray Nature Center Friday Night Hike in Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. Hikers begin by visiting the FamilySearch table to explore their roots and connect to generations past. They then take a self-guided twilight walk on the park’s historic trails, where re-enactors will bring to life the voices and stories of those laid to rest more than a century ago. Volunteer re-enactors may choose historic figures to portray from a list of people who lived in the area in the 19th century. We'll provide details of their stories. Re-enactors must come in simple costumes to create an 1800's atmosphere, and tell their historic person's story in first-person.

Volunteer: FamilySearch Center Staff

FamilySearch Center staff provide one-on-one help to visitors, assisting them in discovering their family history.

Able to communicate well with others.

Comfortable using computers, printers, scanners, and phone apps.

Reasonably familiar with FamilySearch.org and its mobile apps.

Friendly, patient, and respectful at all times toward patrons and other staff.

If you have a heart for helping others find their ancestors and family stories but aren't sure you're experienced enough, we are happy to provide training.
