This week was rather exciting. We learned a bit about researching in Family Search, My Heritage and Ancestry. I learned how to locate images that have not been indexed yet. I learned how to use the "collections" and "records" tabs. I am in absolute awe at the amount of records and microfilm that has been collected, digitized, and organized in such a simple way for me to research at home on my own computer. I am also in awe of how many records are yet to be indexed. I guess that is why the church is trying to get us all to Index! I had a few glitches with technology, the most annoying being when I am searching and I hit something and the whole screen goes away and I have to log in again and start all over. I am feeling a little more confident in my ability to learn enough that I can make some well planned research on my own family lines soon!
