Today's Challenge
We are now on Day #18. I hope you were able to find some useful information yesterday exploring The Family History Guide, a training site for family history researchers. Today we will explore the Catalog of FamilySearch.org (https://www.familysearch.org/).
Hints
The Search function on FamilySearch.org provides several ways to search for information. You can search the Records, Images, Family Tree, Genealogies, Catalog, Books, and the Wiki.
Question #1. Search the Catalog on FamilySearch for Film/Fische Number 1030759. What is the title of Item #3?
Question #2. Item #3 of Film #1030759 starts on image 392/479. What are the names and ages of the three siblings who were admitted on October 22, 1888?
Question #3. Using the same film, find Bert McKee who was admitted on September 15, 1895. When did he leave the institution and what was the reason he left?
Question #4. Search the Catalog for Gainesville, Florida. Find the yearbooks. What school’s yearbooks are online at FamilySearch?
Question #5. Search the Genealogies on FamilySearch. How many individuals are listed in the International Genealogical Index (IGI)?
Bonus Question (optional). Search Books for the “West Florida Rebellion”. For how long was West Florida a free and independent nation?
Comments. What did you think of this task? Was it too easy? Too difficult? Just right? Did you have fun exploring the FamilySearch search function?
