FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Two new additions to the Genealogy Center in Fort Wayne are making its debuts Thursday.

The Discovery Center will have a variety of uses including monthly genealogy programs, technology sessions and other sessions that will help people search their family’s history, according to the Allen County Public Library.

The room will seat 240 people in theater-style seating and about 100 people in classroom-style seating and will feature the latest in sound and computer technology.
