Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the
Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1) Elizabeth Swanay
O'Neal has a monthly blog party for geneabloggers to write about a certain
topic. This month the topic is
"What genealogy 'resource' are you thankful for this year?"
2) Please join the
blog party and write about your response on your own blog post, in a comment on
this post and/or Elizabeth's post, or on Facebook.
I am most thankful for the website FamilySearch.
Each day, more and more records have been digitized and put
online. These are not just indexes, but actual images of original documents! It
has made researching so much easier. I can either find records from my own
home, or if the image is locked, go the eight miles to the local Family History
Center and view the images on their computers.
So now there are three ways to view records at FamilySearch:
 |
| Microfilm, not yet digitized. Must view at the Family History Library |
 |
| Digitized microfilm, available at all computers! |
 |
| Digitized microfilm but locked, can only be viewed at a Family History Center or Library |

I'm a huge fan of Family search as well! I'm amazed at what I've been able to find.
ReplyDeleteLike you, Lisa, I chose FamilySearch. I have broken down more brick walls with its resources than any other source.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great resource! thanks for sharing :)

I began my serious FH research by looking at the I.G.I. on microfilm at my local studies library, and then progressed to Family Search when that became available online. I had great success with my Rawcliffe family and through it found I had connections in the USA who I knew nothing about. But then somehow I got distracted onto,Ancestry and other sites. I have come again recently to realize the worth of Family Search through comments on Facebook genealogy groups. Thank you for the endorsement.
