What Are You Searching At FamilySearch? Webinar
We've just released the media file for my latest webinar which focuses on knowing what you are searching on FamilySearch.
If you are confused by states that have multiple indexes to the "same" set of vital records, why a marriage entry appears multiple times in an index, or how to see what was used to create the index, then this webinar is for you.
We focus on American sources, but the methods will apply to other locations as well. This presentation is not for complete beginners--some research experience is necessary.
You can download the media for only $4 during our introductory price offer. A PayPal account is not necessary, you can "click through" and when time for payment comes, click as a "guest" and use your non-PayPal credit card.
