Being able to do a full text search of so many databases on FamilySearch has completely changed the way that family historians and genealogists are able to use these documents. Indexing on the major research websites usually cover only the main person in a document and the type of records being added to the full-text search feature are full of names – spouses, children, parents, siblings, other relatives, witnesses and more. I will show you how to search the records efficiently and give examples of the kind of information you can find within them. I’ve found detailed wills and estate inventories, guardianship records for minor children, deeds with very specific boundary descriptions and much more! Join me on a journey back in time!
