FamilySearch®, a free website sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, provides family history researchers with access to original digitized historical records from around the world and indexes linked directly to many of those records. Even experienced researchers often do not know how to locate FamilySearch’s full digitized records collections. Guest presenter Maureen Brady provides an overview of the digital records collection and suggests search strategies for locating historical records.
Maureen Brady is a former school librarian and computer educator. She has over 35 years experience with family history research, is a professional genealogist and owner of Bare Roots Genealogical Services. Ms. Brady is a staff member at the Crystal Lake (Illinois) Family History Center and is a member of many genealogical and family history societies in the U.S. and Scotland.
