Researching Women and Minorities using FamilySearch’s Full-Text Search

Wednesday, February 26
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

The full title of this webinar is "The Needle in the Haystack: Researching Women and Minorities using FamilySearch’s Full-Text Search."

Presented by Julia A. Anderson

Genealogists have long known that land, probate, and court documents are rich genealogical sources, but searching them required hours of exhausting research. Few indexes existed, and these rarely (if ever) named women or minorities. Learn how FamilySearch’s full-text search can help you find the proverbial needle in a haystack and identify women and minorities in these valuable records.
