Family Search Labs


By Corrine Ardoin - Posted on 30 June 2008

I was up late last night searching the Family Search Labs pilot website,
too! It's great! Not only in the 1930 census have I found ancestors, but
in typing in names to do a search on, I found information I have been
looking for without previous luck. It brought up baptism records, marriage
records, death records, Social Security death index, etc. even in the USA,
when I typed in a particular name. It even has some of the actual documents
themselves that you can see and print out. If you click on Save, it will
automatically download it to your computer and, presto, there it is ready to
be fixed up or you can just print it out. One thing I discovered, is that
when you resize them for emailing, so they aren't such big files, they get
real blurry. So, I don't resize them. I leave them huge and they are
actually better for reading even if you have to move the image around and
can't see the whole thing at once.
