This educational presentation, presented by James L. Tanner for the BYU Library Family History Center, focuses on navigating and utilizing FamilySearch’s "Explore Historical Images" feature to find unindexed genealogical records. It explains how FamilySearch digital camera operators around the world continuously capture millions of raw historical documents, which are added to the site daily and organized primarily by geographic location. The slides guide researchers through search strategies—such as filtering by specific places and collections—while offering practical solutions like using AI tools to transcribe difficult-to-read records. Ultimately, the presentation emphasizes that exploring unindexed image collections allows researchers to discover valuable ancestral records that traditional name-based searches cannot reveal.
