We are often warned that things can change in a hurry in the genealogy world. This was proven again by an announcement about PERSI that I saw yesterday.
It was only last week that we learned about locating genealogy-related articles by using PERSI on FindMyPast. Yesterday's Legacy newsletter says PERSI is moving back to the Allen County Public Library website. The library has the search page broken down into the following categories:
Surnames
United States
Canada
British Isles
Other Counties
Research Techniques
Article Title Keyword
Once you click on the country you're interested in, you will come to a page that asks for, in the case of the United States, state, and county. Once you click the search button, you’ll receive a results page that includes categories and how many articles match that category for your location.
We'll be updating and exploring this new way of searching at a future workshop.
