I will be watching this several more times to be sure I didn't miss anything. It was an excellent presentation, with perfect pacing, great examples, and such a pleasant voice taking us through the program. This is one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Thank you for presenting it.

I thought I had a pretty good idea of how to use Family Search, but I definitely learned some new things. I'm especially grateful l to learn about the wild card search option with the astrix. Thank you Robert.

Eye-opening! I'm not a beginner but I also never took the time or effort to really explore all the specifics of the program. NOW I feel like I can really begin! Are you Pat Kehrer's son? We were good friends when they lived in NC.

In researching census records I am finding multiple family members on the same census but I can not print the whole census page at one time. Is there a way to do this??? Also, I would like to know what the letters " yt" in an old probate record means? What does "yt" mean in a document???? Thanks. I have been using Family Search for years and it is my favorite site to use.

I'd like to learn more about wild card searching in Familysearch.org. I have encountered transcription errors in familysearch but unlike ancestry I don't see how you can submit a correction or alternate indexing for errors that are encountered.

I'm not new at all to Family Search but this new search and advanced search function is not user friendly. I need to know how to work this new way of searching on Family Search.

@tanclan 2 жыл бұрын

I disagree! I'm not great with the computer, but I found it to be very user friendly once you jump in and start practicing. Give it a chance!
