    WOW! This was SO helpful and so informative for me! I was feeling slightly overwhelmed by family search and I wanted to find a video to help. Your video was the first I clicked on and I am so glad I did because you explained everything so wonderfully. Thank you for your time and being such a valuable resource and instilllng confidence in me!

    Thanks for a positive look at the new search interface. I think we'll all end up loving it because it actually puts more power into our hands.

      Thanks. I was striving for a neutral look at the search interface. While ranting would likely get more views, it's not necessarily helpful. I want to be respected as someone who strives to be helpful.

    Great video! The export feature is useful to sort in various ways. I used the feedback feature to ask how to export more than 100 records.

    • @romamiller4526
      @romamiller4526 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is their reply - At this time we only offer 100 records at a time. To get more than 100, simple go to the next page and export again.

      Thank you for asking what to do. I hadn't figure out the "go to next page' part yet. But that can be handled in a future video.

    Always great information, thanks, Devon!😊 I just can't ever seem to make the Live ones. Sorry about that. I'm really looking forward to your RM8, I upgraded on the 16th with a lot of hesitation b/c when I was testing I had issues all the time.🤦‍♀️ Freezing up and not opening I always had to go into End Tasks to shut it down,🤦‍♀️ so I kinda dropped the ball with it.🤷‍♀️ Today is the 20th and I haven't even opened the email to deal with it yet, ho-hum!🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Take Care!

      I hope your experience with RM 8 is going well. Sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. BTW... join whenever you can. That's why we have the video comment section. It really feeds the algorithm either way. And, you can stay in touch.

    Question; some of these records are hard to read. Is there an app or a way to make it more readable

    • @FamilyHistoryFanatics
      @FamilyHistoryFanatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you mean the handwriting is hard to read? Or is the image quality challenging (too dark or too light?)

      On the document view, there is an icon that looks like several lines with dots. "Sliders" is what I call them. Click on that and you should be able to play with the light and dark settings. You can also invert the white and black to see if that helps. Sone original documents are extremely hard to read even after playing with the settings. However, those sliders are extremely helpful.

    Can you slow your mouse choices please and have it more obvious

      I will look into that. Thanks for the feedback. Also, check out the ability to slow down or speed up videos on TH-cam. This could help as well support.google.com/youtube/answer/7509567?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop
