Concise and very well done, Thank you!

[@familysearch]

You're welcome!

[@bonniemarshall8824]

Thanks for this overview.

Hey Dana, you did an excellent work with this video!! Actually I'm researching on Coshocton county Ohio cemetery by family search. do you know how can I do it?

[@whychromosomesmusic5766]

I didn't know that you could do more general searches on the cemetery pages. I didn't know how to add memorials. I'm presuming you have to have a Find A Grave ID member number to do that? I have seen some really great D.A.R. and W.P.A. indexes at Family Search. They usually also put the source info such as the book and page numbers for marriages. You mention adding copies of documents including obits. I thought obits were copyrighted. Is that still allowed? Also I do research in Italian records at Family Search. If I find the birth and/or marriage record in Italy can I add that to a Find-A-Grave memorial for that person? Of course I would transcribe and translate the document to English. I have not thought of doing that before. Thanks for being the catalyst for a new idea for my research and one which I think others (in America and in Italy) would find helpful and enjoyable.

How do I find family members

[@douglaslarson7081]

Good information but so far it hasn't helped me find some ancestors I am trying to find.

[@familysearch]

Douglas have you tried booking an online consultation? They are free, go.oncehub.com/ResearchStrategySession
You can learn more about them here
www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Virtual_Genealogy_Consultations
Best of luck!

[@douglaslarson7081]

@@familysearch Well a consultation sounds wonderful but when I went to that webpage I could see that the consultation type I want isn't one of the offered types and it clearly states in the instructions that consultations are only given in one of the listed types. I want a consultation for ancestors who came from Sweden.

Thank you. You know what a disappointment the "No Matches Found" can be.

[@yxytrophile4456]
