New Features Offered by Family Search
April 5, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Anne Arundel Genealogical Society
Is pleased to announce New Features Offered by Family Search
Featuring guest speaker Michael Butterworth
Michael’s presentation will cover:
Home Page after Login – FamilySearch has updated the home page to make it a more personalized experience.
Access to Records at FamilySearch – How does FamilySearch negotiate the rights for records and how can you view those records. Search Records at Home – Over the past several years, FamilySearch has been digitizing these records and publishing them online for people to search and view from their own homes. As of September 2017, you can no longer order microfilms or microfiche from FamilySearch.org, making the shift to digitized records complete.
FamilySearch Places – The places our ancestors lived shaped their lives and experiences. To find our ancestors and understand their lives, we need to learn about the places they came from.
Map Your Ancestors – The Family Tree app recently added a feature that, in some cases, can help show where your ancestors have lived by allowing you to map key events in your ancestors’ lives directly in the app
