We Are A Family Search Affiliate Library!
All serious family history researchers know the frustration of finally finding the record you need and seeing the dreaded “not available” icon on FamilySearch.
Many of those records can be accessed at ELCL because we are the only North Pinellas FamilySearch affiliate library and have privileges to limited-access databases.
The next time you can’t access a record you need, stop by and see if it can
be obtained through ELCL!

Most importantly, Mr. Lumish is a proud father and the architect of his non-profit foundation, "The Good Cemeterian Historical Preservation Project".

His foundation has and continues to support veterans groups, scouting projects, schools, and everyday individuals with the desire to make a unique difference in their communities and complete important projects with deep meaning to them.
