Next Wednesday at 10:30am Family History Tips and Tools will focus on FamilySearch. Recent changes to their website mean many of us are in need of an update. Our focus will be on effective search tips, but we will also touch on questions like:

How has the website changed? How can I make it easier for me to use?

What is FamilySearch? How does it compare to other online databases?

What records are there? How international is its collection?

What are its pitfalls and how can I avoid them?

How do I search FamilySearch efficiently?

Does it hold sources? How do I record them?

What can I access using it at the GSV versus using it at home?

What should I do when I find ‘closed’ records?

What is the wiki? How do I use it?

If you have questions about FamilySearch send them through to fhtt@gsv.org.au or ask them on the day.

Register for the event on the GSV website via the Activities tabs, and then click on Events. Don’t forget to log in first.
