Improving Searches at FamilySearch (November 16, 2022)

Image
Traditionally, searching for people or records at FamilySearch has been a challenging process.  You either get too many results that the right person or record can't be found or you get so few results that what you want is missing.  This presentation will focus on helping you find a person's record in Tree and also how to find a document to answer your research question.  In doing this best search techniques will be covered.

The Source Box at FamilySearch (November 2, 2022)

Image
The Source Box is probably the most used and least understood part of the FamilySearch suite. It is here that all of our sources can be stored and filed.  Many of us really don't know how to use it to its maximum usefulness.  This presentation will learn how to use the source box to it's potential.  As an added bonus at the end of the presentation the use of Master Sources for items like books that need to be sourced multiple times will be explained.
