Using the FamilySearch Full Text Search Feature-A Genealogical Goldmine

Description

At RootsTech 2024, FamilySearch.org released their first massive collections that can be searched by using Full-Text. This means every word in the documents, including the handwritten text can be searched. This new technology is the culmination of handwriting recognition, translation and transcription, and a complete search. This class shows you how all this new technology comes together to produce astounding search results.
