This week Annie provided some suggestions for using spare time during the coming months. They included finishing census work, devising a research plan, reviewing your research notes, using FamilySearch and making use of the information given during the past season's classes.
She also listed some internet websites to explore. ArchivGrid, Linkpendium, Internet Archive and ROAGK.
Each spring FamilySearch seems to give us some new options for research. They recently added "Cemeteries" under the search tab. This is a collection of cemeteries entered in the Family Tree. You can search by cemetery name or by location.
FamilySearch Labs is creating some interesting new options. Full Text Searching gives us the ability to access (at present) land and probate records that cannot be indexed. They have incorporated handwriting recognition and there is a translation of the original document.
Another option is Family Group Trees where members of your family can view your living tree. This feature is not quite ready for full use yet. You can also try AI-assisted searches.
