And many of the resources in the FamilySearch Wiki are linked to in the country-specific pages of Project 4. In addition, there are many links and resources cited in The Family History guide outside of FamilySearch and the subscription sites (Ancestry, etc.) - such as Genealogy.com, Find-a-Grave, Kindred Trails, etc. <br /><br />Hope that helps -<br /><br />Bob<br />The Family History Guide<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381333356509295768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-82869607705271519882015-08-06T17:30:03.827-07:002015-08-06T17:30:03.827-07:00James I am so happy about this website and all tha...James I am so happy about this website and all that it offers to both new and seasoned family historians and genealogists. I feel this site encourages self-starters to know how to help themselves learn at their own pace in an organized and enlightening way. I think it has great application just as it is and the fact that the team will continue to add and improve it over time is -thrilling. I think this is a fabulous tool for teachers and trainers. In the past few days I have talked with several people who help others learn how to accomplish this work. Without exception they have all been very excited about it. To me this site is a game changer. It helps people catch the vision of what they can do and it empowers them in the step by step approach. I commend both Bob Taylor and Bob Ives for what they have created and think they are inspired. One of the most valuable assets of this program is being able to give the library patron or consultant something tangible and effective to take away and to continue working and learning on their own. It makes sharing so much better. Now we can concentrate on teaching a person how to fish, not just giving them a meal. There is a lot more to all of this than just clicking when someone shows you where to click. This gives students an opportunity to catch the vision of what they don't know and a concrete path to follow. James thank you for the shout out you have given this App. I know it will reach many through your efforts. <br /><br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059667593315041564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-88571088352306382352015-08-06T15:07:04.881-07:002015-08-06T15:07:04.881-07:00Yes, James, I did see your suggested links for App...Yes, James, I did see your suggested links for Apple/Mac computers.<br /><br />Perhaps the authors think it is obvious that this is particularly a guide for using FS and FS-Family Tree, but the suggestion for finding family information in FS-FT gives me shivers. In 5 or 10 years, maybe, after experienced genealogists have made corrections without interference from new.FamilySearch, but at present the suggestion could be very confusing for those who are not aware of how FS-FT came to be.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-4922608156685971292015-08-06T14:05:42.472-07:002015-08-06T14:05:42.472-07:00This is a just released product.

Windows 8 does not have a start button . . . though one can download little programs that install one in Win8, one must know how to look for them.<br /><br />In a way it is too bad that this site/work is limited to the FS site and subscription internet sites rather than being a research guide. This contributes to the pervasive misconception that "everything" is already on the internet. Even the FS-Wiki is a much more comprehensive approach.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
