The
library
version
has
less
than
half
of
the
record
sets
available
that
the
home
version
does
so
again,
that's
something
to
keep
in
mind
when
you're
deciding
whether
or
not
to
pay
for
a
home
subscription
familysearch.org
is
the
next
large
source
for
genealogical
records.
Unlike
ancestry,
however,
it
is
free.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
The
first
one
that
we'll
be
using
here
is
records
once
you've
clicked
on
that
it
will
pull
up
their
basic
search
screen.
Next
you'll
need
to
enter
some
information
about
who
you're
looking
for
particularly
start
with
their
name,
I'm
not
related
to
albert
einstein,
but
I
thought
he'd
be
fun.
To
use
for
this
exercise.
A
A
A
If
you
don't
see
that
camera,
for
example
in
the
fifth
record,
that
means
that
there
is
no
original
image
and
you
only
have
the
transcribed
information
in
the
index
to
see
the
record
click
on
the
name
in
the
row
of
the
record
that
you
want
to
look
at
on
the
page.
For
this
record,
you'll
see
the
information
from
the
index
that
I
mentioned
displayed
here
on
the
left.
A
A
So
if
you
can
see
the
original
image,
it's
always
a
good
idea
to
look
at
it
to
see
what
additional
information
you
might
be
able
to
find
before
we
look
at
this
image.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
and
mention
that
you
can
look
at
more
information
about
the
record
set
that
this
image
comes
from
through
the
link
to
the
record
collection
description.
A
Now,
let's
look
at
the
image
you
can
do
this
by
clicking
on
the
thumbnail
of
the
image
itself
or
the
link
below
it.
That
says
view
the
original
document
when
it
displays
the
image
you'll
see
that
it's
trying
to
show
you
the
whole
page,
which
often
is
too
small
to
actually
be
able
to
read
in
order
to
enlarge
the
image
to
see
it.
Clearly,
you
can
use
the
toolbars
to
the
left
to
increase
the
image
size
or
the
scroll
wheel
on
your
mouse.
A
This
can
be
helpful
if
you're,
looking
at
a
record
that
has
been
hand
written
and
you
may
have
trouble
reading
some
of
the
names
or
other
information
if
you
click
on
the
down
arrow
in
front
of
the
image
index
tab
that
will
push
that
information
down
on
the
page.
If
you
don't
want
to
see
it
and
increase
the
screen
space
for
the
original
image.
A
A
A
This
is
true
for
any
of
the
record
set
images
just
in
case
the
information
continues
onto
the
next
page
or
onto
the
back
of
a
page
that
you're
looking
at,
for
example,
in
this
passenger
list.
The
information
continues
from
the
left
page
over
to
the
right
page
to
be
able
to
view
those
images
you
use
the
tools
in
the
upper
left
corner
the
left
hand.
Arrow
will
take
you
back
to
the
previous
page
and
the
right
hand.
Arrow
will
take
you
to
the
next
page.
A
A
Let's
see
what
happens
if
we
add
residence
information
for
years,
albert
einstein
worked
in
princeton
university
and
lived
in
new
jersey.
So
if
I
click
on
residence
and
add
the
term
of
new
jersey,
then
scroll
a
little
bit
further
down
and
click
on
the
update
button.
This
will
re-run
the
search
using
this
additional
information.
A
A
Let's
go
back
once
again
to
those
initial
search
results.
You
can
choose
to
add
additional
terms,
or
you
can
also
choose
to
restrict
the
results
that
you've
already
found.
You
can
do
this
by
scrolling
a
little
bit
further
down
on
the
page
and
down
on
the
left,
you'll
see
what
are
called
search
filters.
A
Let's
see
what
happens
if
I
choose
residence
place
of
the
65
records,
13
of
them
had
information
about
where
the
person
was
living
on
the
record.
Three
of
them
were
in
the
continental
europe.
One
was
in
a
place
that
they
didn't
have
a
category
for
one
was
in
the
british
isles
and
eight
were
in
the
united
states.
A
A
A
A
If
you
remember
from
my
earlier
lessons,
marriage
records
along
with
birth
and
death
records
are
usually
referred
to
as
vital
records,
so
I'll
scroll
down
on
the
page.
Until
I
get
to
united
states
florida
vital
records-
and
it
shows
me
that
there
are
15
record
sets
that
have
this
type
of
record
related
to
florida.
A
When
I
click
on
that
link,
it
will
display
information
about
that
record
set.
Originally,
these
were
done
on
microfilm,
and
it
shows
me
all
of
the
different
microfilm
titles
for
these
records.
However,
by
scrolling
down
below
that
list,
I'll
see
that
there
is
a
link
that
tells
me
that
this
record
set
is
also
available
online.
