Using FamilySearch Digital Microfilm to Find Genealogical Records
FamilySearch has over 2,000 record collections, and many of them are not indexed and cannot be searched using search engines. They are digitized from FHL microfilms. Think of them as "digital microfilm" - you have to browse these records. There are finding aids to help the researcher find records for their ancestors - waypoints, volumes, volume indexes, etc. This presentation will demonstrate how to find records for your ancestors in probate, land, town, tax and other unindexed records.Bio: Randy Seaver is a native San Diegan.
