FamilySearch: If You’re Not Using the Catalog, You May Be Missing Out
Feb 10, 2021If you're only using the Historical Records Collection portion of the FamilySearch site, you may be missing out on a lot of other records, both online and offline.
Check out this video to see why. I'll also take you on a quick tour of the catalog to show you how to identify what’s immediately accessible online, what’s available online with restrictions, and what’s available offline.
Pick a location that you research in often. Then, head over to the FamilySearch catalog and start exploring the location. Make note of what's available, and whether it's accessible online without restriction, online with restriction, or offline.
Did you discover a set of records you didn't know had been digitized? Head over to the discussion of this post on Facebook and share what you discovered.
