| TIP OF THE WEEK – FULL-TEXT SEARCH OF DEED AND PROBATE RECORDS NOW ON FAMILYSEARCH With all the exciting news coming out of RootsTech 2024, one that may have been missed is that FamilySearch has implemented full-text search technology on their U.S. deeds and probate records as well as Mexican Notary Records. Was a female ancestor listed on a will as a co-grantee or co-grantor? You might be able to find her father or husband’s name thanks to this exciting new technology that reads and searches the handwriting on these documents. The full-text search is still in its experimental phase. It can be accessed from the FamilySearch homepage when viewing on desktop by clicking on the FamilySearch Labs link in the lower right hand corner of the site. What discoveries will you make? | |
