FamilySearch Full-Text Search: Find Records You Didn’t Know Existed

Have you tried FamilySearch Full-Text Search yet?

In the video I just launched on YouTube, I show how I used FamilySearch’s powerful Full-Text Search feature to locate the will of my ancestor, Sarah Shannon. What started as a simple search led to an exciting discovery that provided valuable family history information and demonstrated just how powerful this tool can be for genealogists. I know that my 2nd cousin 1x removed, Ron Shannon, was thrilled with my discovery.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there are records hiding in FamilySearch that don’t appear in traditional searches, this video is for you. Full-Text Search can help uncover wills, probate records, court documents, land records, and other historical records that may contain information about your ancestors.

In the video, you’ll learn:
✔ How FamilySearch Full-Text Search works
✔ Tips for searching historical documents
✔ How I found Sarah Shannon’s will
✔ Why this tool should be part of every genealogist’s research toolbox
✔ Ways to uncover records that may not be indexed

Whether you’re just getting started with genealogy or you’ve been researching for years, FamilySearch Full-Text Search may help you break through brick walls and discover records you never knew existed.
