Downloading the record and transcript gives you a pdf with both the original text and the transcription in it. I do that but then also copy the transcription from the webpage and paste it into a Word document, so I can then easily edit it (mostly it seems to repeat surnames in some areas but overall the transcribing is excellent) and save it. I also add a jpg image of the original to my transcription and the source info. All this because the downloaded pdf is not editable.
Yes I do the same.
I think I’m the first :) Connie, can you make a video about Polish & Lithuanian jewish genealogy? Love your videos ❤

I just stumbled on a will package, Thank you again
Wonderful!
I found family members that I didn't even know existed in a Will then found the land and deed records. But now I haven't been able to find any more records on those family members from the early 1900's. Another brick wall!
Question, how did you get those green and yellow squares to appear by your ancestors name? Are they quick references that those ancestors are either complete or still actively researching.
Love your channel!! I have learned so much from you! Thank you for doing this!
Go to Emojipedia.com and find the shape, copy and then paste into Ancestors profile in the suffix field.
Ive been on a journey to solve the question, who was the father of my 2nd great grandmother. Its one of 2 brothers. Everytime i watch a video of yours, i feel like im getting closer to solving the answer. Thanks for this video! Im remotivated in figuring out my brickwall 💚
I bet you’ll solve this puzzle.
I don't know the father of mime either, too many possible surnames can't pinpoint anyone.
Connie, I love leveraging both Ancestry & Family search and sometimes another site as well. Sometimes images, for instance, are clearer in one site than another, or the indexing is more complete, etc. as well as different record sets. I even found Swedish records, mostly minster's reports and such, that none of the other sites had; and my Swedish cousin-researcher had never seen! Thank you for this short intro to digging into these important records.
My pleasure.
Good morning!
Morning!
This video adds some new skills to Family Search's new feature for me. I stumbled on this feature a few weeks ago and miracle of miracles I found my a family record that was a brick wall. John Hague actually had another family before and the probate record named all of the children I knew of and the other marriages children, place of death, confirmed date of death, and so much more!! Still a brick wall in so many other ways, but now I have more information to continue searching.
Great video!
Wow. Lucky!
Thank you. Congrats on the success.
Thank you for the excellent video. Just when I think I know it all...
None of us know everything. 😀
Fabulous video, Connie. I really must do more searched combining both Ancestry and Family Search!
It is a game changer.
This was so informative! Thank you for going over ancestry and Familysearch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GenealogyTV always!!
I have discovered that Ancestry has Will Book indexes indexed, but not the actual wills. However, you can use the page number in the index to manually find the page of the will by scrolling the film roll. You can't link the image of the will to your person because it isn't indexed, but you can download the image to your computer and then upload a copy of the image to the gallery of your family member.
Yes! I was able to find all of the deeds for my French Canadian 3rd great grandfather's deeds in Kalkaska County, MI, using FamilySearch's AI deeds search. However, there are several months missing for probate docs for the same county. The probate docs aren't in FamilySearch or Ancestry, though I did find a Probate Notice in the county newspaper for the sale of 3rd GG's real estate. Bonus: my 3rd great uncle was the notary for the deeds (as well as a County Board Supervisor, Postmaster for the town and school teacher).
Yay. Progress.
Hi Connie, Not subject related, but a while back on another one of your videos I mentioned that one of my pet peeves was names all in CAPS, all lower case, and those that looked like a ransom note.
You mentioned that the All CAPS was a throwback back from the old days to make it easier to find names.
Well, our conversation sparked an idea and I have now written a Windows program to help fix these names.
It's called Fixit and details are on my TH-cam channel. (FREE)
if this is not allowed on your channel please feel free to delete my post.

Is there an in-depth course in how-to, to use your own words, down and dirty of what's what and whys of Probate records? I need to pretend I know nothing and learn from the beginning; without becoming a lawyer. Thank you!
I’ll give it some thought. Judy Russell is the best. She is the Legal Genealogist.
@@GenealogyTVHi Connie how can I contact her Judy Russell
I am writing to say thank you for educating me on probate records. I am African American and I am doing everything I can to find my great great grandfather Benjamin Crockett born a slave in Wilkinson County, Mississippi. I have not been able to find anything on him but hopefully he was able to buy property and maybe there was a record created. I am not a paying subscriber of yours yet so I doubt you will see this but I would love to be able to find out if you have materials that can help me get pass the brick wall. I am at the 1870 census and I am looking at white "Crockett" families but I don't understand how to use slave schedules. I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. Also, can I download any lesson paperwork for this podcast. Thanks a million. Carlos Benjamin Crockett
I believe Connie sells her handouts as a stand alone item for about $6. Please check the description box for the video to see if it's available!
I saw it. Try looking in the new FamilySearch experiments for the Full Text search. I’ve done several videos on it recently.
Hi. If you add a Fact, to one of your, Family Members, in your Tree. (I'm not talking about, look up Records and add them). I'm talking about, adding a Fact, to one of your Family Members, that you already know. Will that fact, that you add, will it help Ancestry know, A little more about, that person. Meaning, will someday,,you will get more hints, just because, of adding more fact to a family member in your tree?,
I’m not sure. Hints are usually driven by the records attached to hints. Everything else goes into the member tree hints.
Good morning!
Morning!
