The Family History Library is the largest genealogical repository in the world and its website, FamilySearch.org, is the primary portal for accessing this collection online. "FamilySearch" has more records in more countries than any other online database. You might have searched FamilySearch.org before, but there's a lot more there than you think.
In this talk Marcie Crocker will discuss both major and minor collections, search strategies, use of wildcards and other techniques. She'll take a look at some of the not-so-obvious sources at FamilySearch.org, where to get assistance and how to get the most out of this huge, free, and very useful website. Marcie will also demonstrate how you can use our "FamilySearch Affliiate Library" status to access over 400 million additional records on our library computers that are not available to users on home computers. Seating will be limited and it is best to arrive by 10:15 am.
The class fee is $10 for members & $15 for non-members, it includes a handout and non-members who attend the class can use the library's 4500 books & 6 subscription databases (including FindMyPast & Ancestry.com) all day for free.
