When I started out in genealogy in earnest back about 2008, I looked at FamilySearch and was unimpressed by how little I was finding. I was using it wrong, by the way--I didn't even look at the un-indexed records (what a newb!). While they do have an amazing amount of indexed records (the size grows every day), their un-indexed collection has always been incredible. If you are new to genealogy, don't be a dummy like I was, and learn to use the un-indexed records. If you put the time in to learn you will be a better genealogist.
I was very pleased to discover today that fellow San Diegan Randy Seaver presented a webinar on this very topic,"Using FamilySearch Digital Microfilm to Find Genealogical Records:"
This presentation was part of the 2018 Surname Society annual seminar.
Learn how to search digital microfilm on the FamilySearch website to find genealogical records.
