Sites like FamilySearch
contain millions of records that are online, but because they are not indexed and
searchable by name, many genealogists miss out on them. From deeds and probate files
to military pensions and church books, the answer to your brick wall mystery may
well be accessible on your home computer without you knowing it. This presentation
will cover the best ways (including the new FamilySearch Full-Text Search feature)
to access these treasures hidden in plain sight.
Katy is a freelance genealogist and the former genealogy director for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) in Philadelphia.

Today she is the owner of Katy Bodenhorn Genealogy Research, LLC, and a contract researcher with Price Genealogy.
