I can't believe how many Missouri land records I'm finding for different family members back in the 1800's. Trying to do this manually would take forever and you would probably miss a lot of them because of all the different years it covers. I'm finding records from the 1840's through the 1890's that are spread out through about 5 to 6 different counties.

I found it! OMIGOSH ... what a treasure! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.

This year has been amazing! I am so grateful to enjoy it in person this year.

THANK YOU! I've already turned up a will for my great-great grandmother that I hadn't seen before. I am really excited to use this new tool. This is pretty cool indeed.

Watched lots yesterday and today. I am enjoying it from my comfy chair here in Moscow, Idaho. Hope you take every opportunity to enjoy yourself in SLC.

Oh WOW! I can't wait to try this! It's a bit slow on my phone this morning, but will try it out on my PC later. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

Thank you ever so much for letting us know about this! I wasn't been able to watch yesterday.

[@joyce7892]

I watched yesterday...all day. Today there were glitches in streaming now and again.

[@jonna5677]

What an exciting development ! Thanks so much for letting us know!!

[@hernibs874]

Summary: now you can do a full text search on Family Search of probate records, land records. Can help identify names. Experimental view experience; need a registered FS account. Won't have to rely upon index. Can go directly to documents. Cool.

[@araminta5356]

Thanks for this exciting update! Gives me some hope for finding some elusive ancestors.
