    FamilySearch's Full Text Search helped me find an enslaved ancestor. It also showed when the family moved from NC to MS. I can now confirm dates!

    As soon as you announced it from RootsTech, I went into Family search and tried the full text searching. Wow! Quite a few new records appeared for the ancestor I was searching. Thank you!

    I'm new here but not new to genealogy! Full text search is very exciting! I wonder if they have the full text transcribed and readable on each document. I like to transcribe and create searchable word documents and this would be a big time saver.

      That’s one of the features they have right now!

  • @thelokicat
    @thelokicat Před 5 měsíci

    I think these sites add features like a wiki because it’s a trending module to have and they’ve probably had a bunch of people asking for it because it’s generally expected now.

    Thank you very much for the summary! I'm looking forward to the release of these new tools.
    MyHeritage had the filter by ethnicity and community but unfortunately they disabled it 😞
    Hopefully, it's going to come back with the new ethnicity update.

    I've tried all weekend to get into the full text and nothing. That section is not on my screen. 😞

      Go to FamilySearch.org and sign in. On the main page, scroll down a little bit and look for "FamilySearch Labs" on the right hand side of the page. If the box isn't open, click the arrow next to the words "FamilySearch Labs," then click "View Experiments."
