Tools for using family tree/Search

This page is designed to allow users to share helpful hints they use while working in Familysearch or Family tree.

Research History Create a google doc to use wherever you have access to a computer. Use this to record what you have done researching an ancestor. You can inlcude: where you have looked, what failed to yield results, what you found, what other places you should search, or what you need to do. You could organize your document using those titles or by surname. In fact, you might want to create a seperate document for each surname. You could then go to source box, and create a folder possibly named tools. Use the create a source to link your google doc to the source box in that folder. If you wanted you could then attach a page with a surname to a family. Then others would know what you have already tried.

Links to other sites

Create another google doc that has links to sites you frequently use or that you don't have time to read now. Bookmarks would also do this. However google docs can be shared with other family members or even be made public to all users.
