I finally traced my 3rd great grandparents (he was French Canadian, she was from Old Mainer stock) through Michigan with FamilySearch's AI transcribed records! All of the old county histories for this family were off, but the deeds were on the money! I still don't have a death record, obituary or will for him, but once I knew where he was, the county newspaper had two notices for probate events, so at least I know that he had died before the earliest probate notice.
Thank you so much. I watched the original and have been doing as you said and found some deed records that are able to prove my hypothesis that my husband’s great grandfather b. 1826 and his brother were raised by their grandmother. I suspected so because his y-DNA matches several cousins descended from his two sons, but don’t match the descendants of the man thought to be his father. Now I just need to make floating trees of his three DNA matches and see if I can find a mutual ancestor. 😊
This is a tip for those with Slavic decent. The furthest records go back, are the 1800s and 1700s if you're lucky. The reason being happens to be where we Slavs truly come from. I took the ancestry DNA test looking for viking and found none. Then I followed this rumor told by our dark age nobles and found these busts that the Romans have 3000 years ago and my family look like twins and my last name means the eyebrow bridge of the Sarmatians. We Eastern Europeans are decended from the Sarmatian knights and the Amazon women. We were with our horse herds for 5000 years. When your family finally shows up on a church registry, that is when your herd finally came in to migrate amongst the farming villages. The only thing that goes further back is the coat of arms. My family coat of arms was won in 1400, battling the Tartars. Then my family was with the Polish Hussars cavalry from then on. When my family would retire, each generation were barrel makers they learned with the Hussars. The barrels they made they sold at the port in Gdansk shipping yard all those centuries. To find your coat of arms, look for the closet clan name to your last name, then look at the list of names until you find yours. How we Slavs received our names was different than from the west. You had to earn your family name in battle. If you were too young to go into battle, then when the warriors returned, you would be given a new family name that they would hold until they earned that name in battle. This way went back the entire 5000 years. When the Amazons finally got tired of dealing with the Romans, they took the tribe and horse herds north to their only ally the Slavs. We are 50/50 Sarmatian/Slavic.

Yay!
Wow! Connie! Exciting!!
I used this last month. Amazing technology!
Wished this would have been available on an English collection of records (1000s of Pages)
I need English records with this too
My family is from NC...iv gotten back to my 14th great grandfather on my father's side!
Holy Cow Batman. Good job.

What is the next set of records they are going to release, do you know?
I don’t know yet. Stay tuned.
Tried it today. No longer available.
