2025 Wake County Genealogical Society Virtual Meetings - next - January 28, 2025

Looking forward to seeing you and sharing all 2025 has to offer. Happy New Year!

Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025 @ 6:30pm - Virtual
Topic: Be a Super Sleuth! Accessing and Using Images on Family Search  
Speaker: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL

Did you know that Family Search is placing their recently digitized material online in less that 24 hours after it is scanned? Did you know that they were placing them, not in the Catalog but in Images? This makes the images tab (under Search) as the most up-to-date repository of records--not the Catalog. These records are also not yet indexed and so they cannot be accessed using a surname search. What is a Super Sleuth to do? We will learn how to access these records and perhaps how to use other tools to find your ancestor in the document easier. You will want to see what FS has put on line in the geographic area where you are researching! Treasures await!
 
Join us!  Free and virtual!

*Please register by 4pm day of meeting.

*Presentation starts promptly at 6:30 pm.
