Happy ancestor hunting.
Where to Find New and Updated Records
There
are hundreds of millions of images on Fold3 and hundreds of record titles, so
how do you know if something new has been added that might be pertinent to your
interests? There are a couple ways to find new or updated titles, and there is
also a "Watch" button for both titles and searches so you are
notified when one of your favorites has been added to.
To
see which titles have been added or updated most recently, go to the Search
drop-down menu at the top of any Fold3 page. Click on the down arrow to find
links to search or browse records, and also for a list of all Records on
Fold3 where you can further sort by "new & updated." There’s also a
shortcut to this page via the narrow orange banner on the right of the home
page with the number of records "added last month." Click that banner
and you'll be taken directly to the "new & updated" list.
If
you perform the same searches often for people, events, or topics, scroll down
the middle column on the search results page to find "Added in the
past." There you'll find filters to access what's been added in the past
month, 3 months, 6 months, or year. You can also save your favorite searches by
using the "Watch" button on the search results page. When an image is
added that matches your search criteria, you'll receive an email notification.
Just
because a title is 100% complete doesn't mean you won't find something new.
Even though Fold3 may not be adding more images to that title, members are
continually adding spotlights, annotations, and comments that may reveal a
topic or person you're interested in. To see more, click on a title's
information icon or, in the viewer, click the link to a publication title in
"About image."
For
example, Civil War service records for Union troops from Maryland are marked as
100% complete on this page, but you will see recent discoveries
listed there, too. You can "Watch" any publication to receive email
updates whenever another discovery is made. Likewise, if you find a publication
that is not complete, you can click the "Watch" button to get updates
when new record images are added to that title. Learn
more about watches in the Fold3 Training Center.
As you can see, there
are many ways to find new and updated documents and contributed content on
Fold3. Find the methods that work best for you and enjoy making your own
