FAMILYSEARCH RECORDS ADDED OR UPDATED APRIL 29-30, 2013

The following FamilySearch records were added or update April 29-30, 2013.
Quite a few United States records were added and update these two days.  These records are in bold print and highlighted.  I found some new records for my ancestors on the Arkansas, First Draft Registration Cards.  These are what I call the old men draft registration and they provide quite a bit of information about your ancestor.  These records are not indexed so you will have to browse.  With a little practice, browsing records is not difficult.

REDESIGN OF FAMILYSEARCH.ORG WEBSITE

The new face of the FamilySearch.org web site has been out a week and in my personal opinion - I like it!  As with any changes in the world of computers there is a learning curve when things change.  Here are some hints on finding a couple of pages and some information video links that can help in getting around the new designed site.

The first things I had trouble finding were the Wiki and the Learning Center.

You can access the Wiki from the home page as follows:
     Click the "Search" link located at the top of the main banner
     On the Search Page, click the Wiki link located at the top of the page

The Learning Center can be accessed in a similar manner from the home page:
     Click the "Live Help" icon on the banner
     Click the "Get Help" image
     Click on "Learning Center" located at the top of the page

These are the easiest ways to get to these pages I have found, but this may change without notice.  FamilySearch.org changes daily. The best way to keep up to date on the changes is to check out the FamilySearch Blog link or by clicking on the link "Blog" at the bottom of the home page.

FamilySearch is rolling out new product videos in conjunction with the launch of the new FamilySearch website. These videos are less than 3 minutes long and show how a new user can have success using each of the new features of the site. Look for these videos on the Learning Center of familysearch.org.

There is a free video available on Legacy Family Tree Webinars that is excellent for learning about how to get around and use the new website.  On the Legacy page click on "View Now What's New At Family Search".  The video is free and you do not have to be logged in to watch the video.

Hope this helps - happy ancestor hunting.
