Digging for Historical Records on FamilySearch

This Zoom event is presented by the Palm Springs Genealogical Society with guest speaker Sunny Morton. This FREE program will be from 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on Zoom.

 Digging for Historical Records on FamilySearch. FamilySearch is arguably the world’s biggest free online portal to genealogical records. However, it’s easy to miss some of its valuable content, so join this insider’s tour of five places to find records on (and off) the site. This beginner-friendly lecture also helps more experienced researchers to understand why the site is organized like it is—and to find records they may be missing, especially in its post-microfilm-lending era.

 Sunny Jane Morton teaches family history to global audiences as a speaker and writer. She is a contributing editor at Family Tree Magazine (U.S.) and content manager for Your DNA Guide. She is co-author of How to Find Your FamilyHistory in U.S. Church Records and author of Story of My Life: A Workbook for Preserving Your Legacy. Find her at www.sunnymorton.com.
