More Online Lessons in Searching on Ancestry.com

If you think you can improve on the way you use Ancestry.com, you're probably right. You can now take advantage of free, online video tutorials that will help you maximize your use of this robust resource. Professional genealogist and nationally known lecturer and author Barbara Renick has produced a series of online video tutorials, entitled "Searching at Ancestry," especially for readers of UpFront with NGS.

Each tutorial is twelve to fourteen minutes long, each building on the previous one. Part 1 introduces the new Ancestry.com search engine. Part 2 uses a case study approach to locating members of a family on Ancestry.com. It steps through a sample search while Barbara explains the actions and analyzes the results for the viewer. She shows how to refine a search by layering a search with more details to home in on members of a desired family. Part 3 offers alternate search techniques by layering information in Ancestry.com's different search templates to search for common names. Part 4 addresses the topic, "Finding Name Variants,"
