Sue’s Presentation: FamilySearch’s Full Text Search: A Free AI Tool You Should Definitely Be Using
Come learn how to use FamilySearch’s full-text searching. This new beta tool makes it easier to find your ancestors in unindexed records, in unexpected locations or timeframes, and in roles that were previously unindexed (i.e., witness, heirs, bondsman, adjoining landowner, etc.). Starting with U.S. land and probate, this new AI tool is rapidly expanding to include other record types, locations and timeframes.
There will be a short break with refreshments. The monthly meeting will follow.
