Great find.

I been in Ancestry the last 2 days and have had no problem..Do many of you use Family Search. I had some great discoveries on them lately. Really been helpful with my Italian ancestors.

I prefer Family Search to Ancestry, although I get frustrated that some of their material is for Mormons-only.

I can throw a rock just sitting here on my couch & it'll hit a Latter Day Saint. So if there's something sometime you need to get at, it may take a while but I'll see what I can do for ways around that wall, for I'm.... connected

I've never come across this. Does it have to do with baptizing people? I know that's a thing.

The "Experimental" Full text search by AI on Family Search is really fun! So many 'incidental' mentions of people that I never would have seen otherwise.

Thank you all, now I have three new uncles who served the confederate army.

Speaking of glitchy, I could not open this CWT site. I thought it was my Puter so I tried my iPhone and still no access.

On the flip side, I discovered that the parole records for Richard Taylor's Department of Alabama and Mississippi could be found ONLY at my local Mormon church -- through Family Search.
