@kayharwood2489 6 месяцев назад

I want to say thank you for all the helpful videos you share. I am now creating research notes starting with ancestors surrounding brick walls. This has helped confirm I have the correct 2x time great grandparents on one line. Basically it teased out an area where the grandfather was living which neither I nor Ancestry had cottoned on to and this returned his death when I then used that information in the card catalogue and drilled down. I've now obtained the death certificate, I only wish our UK death certificates were as informative as your US ones. Many thanks.

Awesome video as ever...definitely given me more food for thought when using Family Search...I to yes have tree there but not made so big due to fact it is a collaborative tree and people make changes and not always necessarily correct. What i did love was you showed the tree in the aspect of where people possibly could have come from...definitely interesting aspect to learning more where my ancestors came from...again thanks for the video on how to make Family Search work more for you when it comes to genealogy. 😊

RE hard-to-read images (census records, headstones, etc) ... try downloading the full image & opening in an image-viewing app. Some of them (I use FastStone) have the ability to change to black and white, sepia tone, adjust contrast, etc. I've done that when transcribing headstones and it helps in some cases.

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

Yes. Especially for faint records, cranking the contrast and lowering the brightness in almost any program works.

Hi Cousin, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have learned so much about the basics. With this video I discovered we are cousins. My 8th great grandparents are Sir Knight John Garrett and Elizabeth Ware (thru son William Garrett). It really is a small world. Keep making your instructional and informative videos. Thank you Jan Shannon

Someone in Family Search has tied royal links into many branches of my tree. I researched them all independently, and none of them are real. I’m American, royals did not get on ships and set up families in the new world in 1600. I gave up on Family Search accuracy years ago.

@user-vy5os4wv3d 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your help. I have been able to find my great-grandma on my mother's side. Her name was misspelled but because it listed her husband & address I was able to have her death certificate. Also just a little addition: my maiden name is Knox.

@kendramccarthy2394 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. This was great as I've found FS to be infuriating sometimes i.e. "NO stop adding people to my tree when it makes no sense!' Lol. You have given me some valuable research tools.

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

So glad.

@saraschneider6781 6 месяцев назад

It's not your tree.

@mcwulf25 6 месяцев назад

I find the search function at FS better than other databases I use. Great for finding parents and to put in any date range you like (Ancestry take note). On the downside, the shared tree is full of rubbish.

@Cheneyjoan 6 месяцев назад

Now that FS has changed the index view of census, have you figured out a way to do your copy to excel trick?

@patriciajrs46 6 месяцев назад

I find family search helpful most of the time. It's aggravating that they don"/ have an accessable tab to the source box, and their catalog. I can't access either one.

@marlaspeeth7098 6 месяцев назад

Hello Connie! Thank you for this awesome video! I do have a question for you. It is in regards to the "set the preferred parents" tab. I just recently found my paternal father and I have added him as a parent but he was never my mom's spouse. Can I toggle back and forth with the "set the preferred parents" tab? If I follow my paternal father will I get notifications if I am in the other "preferred parent" mode? Thank you for your help!

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

I assume you're talking about Ancestry and not FamilySearch?

@marlaspeeth7098 6 месяцев назад

No. I am working in familysearch@@GenealogyTV

@robertahakala8428 6 месяцев назад

Will be checking on a census record I found in Ancestry using the Fhl# but could not find indexed in FS. I know the image in on FS by searching for a neighbor. My thoughts on the ID#- I find I have to merge duplicates a lot, especially on my Norwegian ancestors, so the ID# can change. So not sure recording the number would be beneficial for me at least.

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

Interesting thought... good to know. I don't see merges on FS that often.

@user-ed3db8fh2u 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for all of your tips, it’s been very helpful. However, I’m looking for the 1900 Census for Quitman Mississippi. I’m looking for Zula Rodgers Graham and Jesse Graham. There’s a disconnect in finding some of there records before that time, those are my great grandparents and I can’t seem to find info before 1920 Census. Any suggestions? It’s so weird.

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

Try various spellings. Zula might Sula in the transcriptions, etc. try search the area for just the surname.

@user-ed3db8fh2u 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I will try this particular variation.@@GenealogyTV

@bonniewinograd2356 6 месяцев назад

I had a similar issue finding a relative. Spelling on the transcription was wrong. Of the 5 people in the same home there were 3 different transcription spellings. Only one had it spelled correctly in the transcription ( and if you looked at the actually record they were all spelled the same)

On my tree my ancestor for first ancestor isn't the oldest. I've got ones from centuries away but they choose a guy with surname Williams

@fredharvey2720 5 месяцев назад

What really bothers me about all that online family tree databases is the way they have names and so forth but no primary source of where that information came from

@saraschneider6781 6 месяцев назад

Connie I admit I stay away from Family Search as much as I can because it's just a hot mess… what is the easiest way of cross-referencing a family tree housed elsewhere like an Ancestry that you feel is pretty darn accurate with Family Search. I've tried a few times but I always get confused and lose my spot going back and forth. A bit off-topic but also asking the same for Geni and WikiTree because I'm also having the same issue.

@GenealogyTV 6 месяцев назад

I suggest you use family search for hints and for record search because they have different records than on Ancestry sometimes. Additionally, sometimes you can read the records on family search easier than you can. Ancestry don’t give me wrong. I love Ancestry. My primary tree is on Ancestry ,but I do a lot of research on family search as well.

@saraschneider6781 5 месяцев назад

@@GenealogyTV But unfortunately if you don't have all of your branches connected to a family search, you won't get nearly as many relatives from Roots Tech as you should…I'm sitting at 30 currently.

I have trouble searching women byb their maiden name. I get so many hits on them using the last name as their married name. It's there an easy way to search only maiden name? Even if i add a husband. It seems to search as if it's their married name.
