Be a Super Sleuth: Finding Image Records in FamilySearch
Featured Guest Speaker: Jill Morelli
Description: We know that FamilySearch has been aggressively digitizing and posting online their holdings; we also know that indexing is lagging behind. What you may not know is that for the past couple of years, FamilySearch has been placing these freshly digitized records first, not in the catalog, but filed under Images. You perhaps have never used Images before. We will explore the records and how they are filed and categorized so you can be a super genealogical sleuth and perhaps even amaze your friends.
Presenter Info: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL, is a writer, lecturer and researcher specializing in Midwest and Scandinavian research and methodologies. She lectures nationally and has been published in the NGSQ, Swedish American Genealogist, and others. In 2017 she founded the Certification Discussion Group, sharing her journey to receive the credential, is past president of the Seattle GS, program director for the Puget Sound chapter of APG, and is a co-founder of Applied Genealogy Institute, whre the focus is on practicum-based learning.
