SUMMARY:Exploring Unindexed Records with Family Search Labs: Unlocking Hidden Gems in Genealogical Research
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Unindexed Records with Family Search Labs: Unlocking Hidden Gems in Genealogical Research  \npresented by Linda In this one-hour presentation\, participants will explore the powerful tools available through Family Search Labs\, focusing on utilizing full-text search features to uncover hidden records. Attendees will learn to access and navigate FamilySearch Labs\, an experimental platform offering advanced tools to enhance genealogical research. The presentation will cover best practices for using full-text search\, a feature that scans not just indexes but entire documents for keywords\, names\, and places\, making it easier to find elusive records.  By examining real-world examples\, genealogists will see how this feature can reveal obscure details in probate records\, land deeds\, and other document types that are often missed in traditional searches. \nAdditionally\, we will discuss strategies for refining searches to avoid overwhelming results and identify the most relevant records efficiently. This session is ideal for genealogists seeking to deepen their research techniques and leverage cutting-edge technology to break through brick walls in their family history research. \nLinda Debe is a lecturer\, writer\, and lifelong student with 40 years of genealogy experience. She has many genealogy passions\, but she gets really excited when it comes to technology. Her motto is work smarter\, not harder\, and technology allows her to do just that\, especially when it comes to maps and timelines. She has spoken to numerous genealogy audiences and has a you tube channel where she creates short technology how-to videos. \nShe holds an AAS degree in Electronics Technology from the United States Air Force. She is an alum of Pro Gen 54\, a coordinator for Pro Gen 64\, and she expects to graduate from the International Institute for Genealogical Studies in 2025.
