Thank you! I’m having trouble with marriage records myself and you’ve shown me a way I hadn’t thought of. (I have a several large families of Smiths, lots of children and hard to match them properly. Though they were poor, it’s still worth checking the land and wills. It helps they’re all in Delaware)

I'm descended from Langfords! My 4x-great-grandfather was Asa Langford (1773-1857) of Lexington, SC. His daughter Dorothy (Dolly) Langford married my 3x-great-grandfather Joshua Miller (1790-1851). Asa is supposedly the son of John Langford (1750-1783), who was born in Virginia but died in Newberry, SC.

How about that!

AI?

Artificial Intelligence. It is a tool like any other, although everyone seems afraid of it.

Yes. The full-text search on FamilySearch uses AI OCR to find the search terms in images. It's pretty cool!
