Family History Tip #5 - Full Text Search

If you're looking to break through a brick wall, or maybe just discover interesting details about your ancestor, consider Family Search - Full Text Search.

On Family Search, go to the pull down search menu and select "Full Text". I recommend starting simple with a name and general location (i.e. Ohio).

Full Text looks through the entire document, beyond just the names and information that is indexed.

For instance, I discovered naturalization documents for a non-relative where my ancestor was their witness to residency. Kinda cool.

I also found deed transfers, for both buying and selling land. How nice to fill in some details about my ancestors' movements around their town during their early years.

Give it a try, and share any interesting stories.
