I've been doing genealogy since I was 13yo. I would skip school to go to the Family History center in Santiago, Chile. Now, I'm 36 and I'm still hooked. I just love it so much!!!

[@kirstenschull2010]

Just watched it today. Helped me rethink my methodology for some current research.

[@christinemiller5360]

Wonderful class!!! Can't wait to get started with these ideas!!!

[@CristaCowan]

Even though I have been working on genealogy for 17 years, this methodology is a fantastic way of recreating the wheel, so to speak! I have had many questions about how to properly use Family Search and with this conference this time (2023), I am learning more ways to use it. The 5 steps are wonderful to start over making sure the records I have are accurate to that person. Thank you for the three presenters and the written ideas on the white board. Great class I enjoyed so much!

[@CristaCowan]

I am so pleased that you found it beneficial. Please come back and share how it's working for you. 😉

I was in a genealogy library in the state of Indiana and found my great great grandfather's obituary in a thin small book titled "West Virginia Obituaries 1910. I was over the moon!

This is why Reddit is helpful to me - you can throw out a question and people help in literally seconds and minutes. Others point out the obvious issues, or give ideas.

[@hannahcarlson9333]

GIRL SAME!!! To the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: Food for thought. I'm 24 this year and I was inspired by my Dad who works for familysearch to nourish my love for family history. Y'all are already doing a great job trying to reach younger audiences! A word of caution, maybe take a deep breath aaaand release. I'm 24, I am disabled, I do my best but your wonderful workers are working too fast for us to keep up with! I'm so grateful for you, and because I want to push for change, (not as a prophet, but as an individual), I would encourage you, from one morally upright person to another: if you are trying to reach a young audience, you will learn to speak to a young audience. if you are trying to reach an old audience, you will reach an old audience. I encourage you to prayerfully continue your efforts to reach a universal audience, as part of the building of Zion.

[@hannahcarlson9333]

Also, I know folks in familysearch.... and they know me. If you can guess who they are, say hi to them for me! And I'm sorry for calling you out! You know me ;)

Excellent class, thank you. A step by step course with a workbook was mentioned towards the end. Where can that be located?

[@thesearchpartymethod]

We're so glad you enjoyed the class!

[@Mrspirategirl47]

A month late in seeing this lesson. My question is, and a few more than 10 words. When looking for documents on one ancestor, should I be looking at the person closest to my target ancestor for documents that may only be initially found under that closest relative? If that makes sense. Sometimes this is what I have found to be the case during my searches. Loved this lesson, it will help me teach my friend

[@losmoneyful]

My dad wrote a note on the back of a family group sheet that said that a women's husband's parents had died when he was young, and he ended up living with the neighbors, who were his wife's family. I looked and looked for him in census records thinking he would be there with her family. Couldn't find him. I finally found him in a guardianship record when he was 17, taken in by his wife's family. So, they had the info right, but the time wrong

[@jrcgjhughes]

Finding a birth record for someone when the court house burned down. I know the date and place and his name. He was born in 1900. The county court house burned down. I was able to get his sister's birth certificate from the same place. She was born in 1897 before the court house fire. So how do I find my grandfather's birth certificate?

[@hanneweber9211]

My mom said that she was born in a certain town in Germany. I contacted the town. They have no record of her birth.

when will the problem with Ancestry syncing with Family Tree Maker 2019 be fixed??? I hate adding information to my tree and not being able to sync!!! I have asked both companies and no one seems to be able to give us an answer!!!

How do I find my great-grandmother's biological Native American parents?

[@CristaCowan]

Are any of your great-grandmother's children or grandchildren still living? Get as many of them tested through AncestryDNA as possible. That's the first step.

How to get people from throwing out my research

[@julieannetenney4617]

I tried out for the books I found the information in because the cleaning people throw out those papers are you in papers in binders can I fire them after treeborn Angela ft finders

[@julieannetenney4617]

To say I do not know how to type. I buy The public's records because of the cleaning people throw out all the papers in my binders and had me back empty binder that's not helpful.

Birth date was recorded wrong by the neighbor lady who had the wrong name and my aunt into your heart was the wrong name and tell she tried to get her passport even the school had her birthday wrong because they use the birth certificate instead of her right name and her right birthday

[@257rani]

I want to find out who is my biological father is?as my younger sister hints it's my uncle (Dad's older brother)even the behavior of the person I called Dad.mistreated me badly.

[@CristaCowan]

I am so sorry to hear that you went through this. Have both you and your younger sister taken an AncestryDNA test? That will show if you are full siblings (with the same two parents), half siblings (with one parent in common and another unrelated parent), or 3/4 siblings (with one parent in common and the other parent are close relatives).

Too much in puts on the same person that you need to merge a lot.
