Making the Best Use of FamilySearch and Partner Sites to Document Your Family Tree
Jeannine Powell
This class will focus on practical strategies for finding and using historical records to support and document your research. Participants will learn how to effectively use FamilySearch and its powerful free resources, along with key partner websites—Ancestry, Findmypast, and MyHeritage—to locate records that may not be immediately obvious through a single search.
We will explore how different websites can uncover new information—even for the same individual.
Special attention will be given to the FamilySearch Wiki, an essential but often underused tool. Attendees will learn how to use the Wiki to:
- Identify what records exist for a specific place and time
- Understand record coverage, gaps, and limitations
- Learn where records are held and how to access them online or offline
