Topic: How to find records in FamilySearch and use its beta Full-Text Search, the experimental, fabulous feature from FamilySearch Labs. I will share records found for Adam “Red” Zumwalt, my husband’s 3G grandfather plus the additional records discovered with the new feature. Using AI tools, FamilySearch has been able to scan and transcribe legal records (handwritten wills, probates, minutes, and deeds), vital, government, business, genealogies, migrations, religious records and more. Each Genealogy & Java session includes the presentation / instruction and a handout to use at home.
PLUS – as a holiday bonus, I can stay after the session and meet with each person individually to schedule a free 30-minute consultation on their most pressing brick wall. Register soon!
