    Here are three quick genealogy record search tips. One is about the Associated Press Archived Records on Ancestry.com. Two, how to jump around in unindexed records to find hidden ancestors, and three, how to use the FHL numbers found in many records and how to locate those records on FamilySearch.org.
    For Ancestry members, here is the AP World collection. It is currently unindexed, but I've put the request in to Ancestry to get them indexed using their AI technology. It is a fabulous collection. www.ancestry.com/search/colle...

    Very cool- thank you! I didn't know that the FHL number could lead you further. And, regarding your ancestors published in print, when I was a teen, I bought a colorful little magazine in an antique store, Pageant, published in April 1945. It has no ads, just full of life stories & photos, including the American military in Europe, where some names are named. Even back then, I thought it would be wonderful to let family members know about this, if they didn't already. Also, I recently messaged a lady on Ancestry to let her know that her great great grandma was one of the many people who actually told their youth stories of going out to Colorado in the 1800's and ending up in Boulder, Colorado, where author, Forest Crosen, interviewed them when they were very old, in the 1930's, recording their oral stories and published them in the book, Western Yesterdays. This particular grandmother recounted the details of her very long trip, as a young lady, from Sweden to New York City, then across the USA via train to Denver, Colorado. She made the migration to marry her sweetheart, who came over before her. These actual details about her journey's many legs would not be in a government entry record! Sadly, I haven't heard back from the descendant lady - maybe she thought I was trying too hard. If anyone has ancestral ties to Boulder, Colorado - you can find copies of this book out there. Your ancestor, or their kin, may have told a detailed story about their lives!

      There are a lot of reasons why people don't reply. Most of the time it is because they didn't get the message (because their notifications are not set correctly) or they died.

    I thank you for asking for the A.P. to be indexed. So many names will surface. I needed the reminder for coping the FHL number. TY.

    These are both great tips, thank you! I just took a quick look at the AP World data set (cool!) and noticed that they filmed those in light green file folders, so if you get lost and don’t know which issue you’re looking at, just look on the right edge of the right side magazine page which shows the file folder tab with hand-written description of the issue date. :-)

    Great tips, which are definitely relevant for my American cousins. I'm wondering if their are similar WWII records for other countries.

    I wanted to ask: does anyone have any advice on how to find more research for family history/ records outside of the U.S.
    Most if not all my ancestors besides my parents are all from a different country. I am finding this very limiting as far as research as I have only gone there 2 times in the last 5 years, for a brief time period.
    Most of my leads have been by speaking to family members (direct descendants), and networking from there. I do have some vital records for relatives, and do my best to fact check by verifying what I've been told with other relatives, but I am finding my options quite limiting.

    • @GenealogyTV
      @GenealogyTV  6 месяцев назад

      Check national archives for the country you are searching in. Many are putting records online.

    @pattyhadaway3777 6 месяцев назад

    Could you do a video on 2 unconnected paternal family lines for unknown fathers. Example. I am trying to help my adopted cousin find his patents. We found his mother’s family but unfortunately she died a year before but the family knew about him. But apparently nothing about the father. So he has what I believe is a half uncle from one paternal family and a half first cousin from another unconnected paternal family. I have searched for a connection and I can’t find one. If you have hints instead please let me know.

      This is a delicate subject and sometimes challenging to do a video about because I need to hide so many details if I'm using a real example. Here are two videos I did a while back about how to research as you described.

    it doesn't work for me in Canada. I went to card cat and typed in AP world into the title area and "Results 0 of 0 Please change your filters and try again. " I didn't use any filters just followed your instructions.

    I loved this one. I just can't seem to figure out what the third tip is? I am just expecting 3 because that is what the title says.

    • @GenealogyTV
      @GenealogyTV  7 месяцев назад +1

      One is about the Associated Press Archived Records on Ancestry.com. Two, how to jump around in unindexed records to find hidden ancestors, and three, how to use the FHL numbers found in many records and how to locate those records on FamilySearch.org.

    • @Lady_Susan_Wright

      Thank you for your answer. My favorite tip was the FHL number. I actually gasped a little when I saw this. The best tip ever! @@GenealogyTV

      It depends on the record sets. Ancestry had hundreds of free records. Goggle it for a list.

      From what I've learned, records are not automatically run through AI. The team needs to identify the record sets, prioritize them, run them through the technology and then check to make sure everything is working as it should. It's not a magic wand, there are people behind the technology that takes time. However, the amount of records they are bringing online every year is multiplying and increase x fold each year. They are setting new records with the amount of data coming online each year (no pun intended).
