Record Selection Table wording

 * Step 1. Choose an ancestor you would like to know more about. What new information would you like to learn about that person?
 * Step 2. Look at the Record Selection Table below. It will tell you which are the best types of records for that information.
 * Step 3. Read the FamilySearch Wiki articles about those types of records.
 * Step 4. Look in the Family History Library Catalog and choose a specific record to search.
 * Step 5. Look at the record.


 * 1) In column 1 find the goal you selected, then in column 2 find the types of records most likely to have the information you need. Read the FamilySearch Wiki articles about those types of records.
 * 2) Look for those types of records in the Family History Library Catalog.
 * 3) Search the records.
 * 4) If you do not find the information you need, return to column 3 and try those records.

Image category message
I noticed you have submitted some nice images to the Wiki recently.

We have a missionary who is categorizing the uncategorized files (images), which keep increasing at an enormous rate.

Will you mind taking an extra moment as you upload a file (image) to add a category to it?


 * There is an icon that looks like a "C" in a box.


 * (Sometimes the lines are jumbled and you have to imagine that's what it is.)
 * When editing, it is the one furthest to the right on the middle row of icons.

The category to add is usually the "middle level" locality that makes sense for the area: county in the US, for example, or the state or country when you don't know that "middle level." If you have questions contact me,

This will really help our missionaries.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
