A death can leave behind much more than a burial record. Wills, probate, deeds, court records, and other documents can reveal family relationships, property, occupations, and stories that may be found nowhere else. In this practical workshop, discover how FamilySearch Full Text Search can help uncover ancestors hidden within records that were previously difficult to search for. Learn effective search techniques and explore how the records left behind after a death can open up new avenues in your family history research.

Staff from FamilySearch will be in the SoG Library to take you through getting the most out of the vast array of information that FamilySearch holds. At this free, in-person workshop in the SoG library, you can bring your own laptop or use one of our computers to access the FamilySearch website.
