FamilySearch Catalog: The Sears Christmas Catalog for Genealogists

Lianne Kruger
Free

Did you mark your wish list in the Sears Christmas catalog as a child? FamilySearch Catalog lists everything available in the FamilySearch Library. Items include books, online materials, microfilm, microfiche, and publications. Learn how to search for records in an area by place, surname, title, author, subject, or keywords, and combinations of these. Recognize where the records are available, whether Online, Affiliated Library, FamilySearch Center, or the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City and what media they are stored in. Learn how to search in film images, adjust their image, and zoom in and out. When you find records for your research, mark each to view later, a to do list of items which may be printed to the library when you get to go in person. How to use the FamilySearch Wiki will be shown to find records for an area, on any website. Just like the Christmas Catalog had something for every member of the family, this catalog has something for everyone, no matter where you live.
