FamilySearch: notes on the source

· 1 min read

  • Cite records by their ARK URL (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/...); these links are permanent.
  • Swiss and German church books are often image-only and unindexed. Browse them through the catalog (search by place) and log the film/DGS number and image number.
  • Family Tree person IDs (e.g. LXXX-XXX) go in the notes column. The shared tree is not a source in itself.
