FamilySearch Places

Several options exist for searching the FamilySearch Places collection. Users may search by name, by id, by location, by parental jurisdiction, or with filters.

Search by place name
Simply entering the name of a place in the search field initiates a “type-ahead” search. Potential results appear after a few characters have been typed. A user may continue typing to refine this set of potential places. At any time, the user may click one of the suggested places to examine its details page.
