1 Researching on Ancestry.com An Introduction Chris Seggerman State Library of Arizona So Who s Used Ancestry? 1

2 What Is Ancestry? The largest for-profit genealogy in the world. (Wikipedia) Founded in 1983, based in Provo, Utah. Has a series of other sites including Archives.com, Fold3.com, Newspapers.com They also currently have ownership of Family Tree Maker. 2

3 Using Ancestry I describe Ancestry as a large almost countless! series of linked genealogical databases that allows you to finely search one database while offering you clues to others. Its automatic features make searching faster, but it helps to have a solid genealogical skill set to help ensure the information you find is accurate. Ancestry is a tool Do you have to use Ancestry to search the census? (No.) But it s a lot faster than going through the census page by page. You can use a census book, but they don t cross-reference other databases. But who s doing the research? YOU ARE. 3

4 Home Versus The Library/Institution The subscription version, which you pay for, offers a more personalized interface. Sometimes Ancestry will offer a specific database for free for a time period: Military records around Veteran s Day. Library or Institution editions may offer you more databases. In the United States versus Everywhere Else seems to be one of the distinctions. 4

5 Quick Links Section All the important subcategories of databases, right up front. Birth, Marriage and Death Records Immigration and Travel Military Records Links to each decade of the U.S. Federal Census and, in my case, the U.K. Census Narrowed Categories and Featured Collections Each broad category also has narrower categories. Each broad category also has Featured Collections. 5

6 Immigration, Narrowed Birth, Marriage and Death, Narrowed 6

7 But What About ALL The Collections? Flickr: jwhitesmith / Creative Commons Ancestry Card Catalog 7

8 An Important Feature of the Card Catalog! Sorting the Catalog Popularity Database Title Date Updated Date Added Has Ancestry added anything new? Record Count 8

9 If You Want Recent Updates FASTER Narrowing Search Terms We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty! --- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy The best way to use Ancestry is to make your search terms narrow enough so the results won t drive you crazy, or cost you time, but broad enough so your search won t discard the item you need. 9

10 WHEN To Narrow Search Terms Chance favors the prepared mind. Anatole France. If you have specific knowledge of an event, or a specific hypothesis of an event, set the search terms very narrowly. If you don t know as much, set the search terms more loosely. EXAMPLE If you know where and when a marriage took place due to family tradition, or a citation, you can look in exactly that place with exactly that couple. If you don t know the particulars, just search with exactly that couple, and maybe that time period? Remember, not all events have been indexed or added to Ancestry (Or whatever database you may be using.) 10

11 TWO SPELLING FOES When you search in a database, you are up against at least two spelling foes when it comes to names. 1. The person taking down the original document. 2. The person or computer transcribing the document. You will become an expert in the commonly misspelled variants of your ancestors names. Ancestry does have a method to correct poor transcriptions, but it is not perfect. LEARN THESE FILTERS! 11

12 (The Filters are ) LOCATION First filter by country, then state, then county, then city. Ancestry s Auto-fill is useful here if you don t know the precise spelling or want it to be exactly as Ancestry has it. COLLECTION This is another way to specify what types of records you will get. DATE If Ancestry things a broader collection Findagrave, the U.S. Census, Mayflower Descendants affects your area, you will still see it even if you narrow your search to the state level. 12

13 An Important Feature of the Card Catalog! (REDUX) Look At The Source Information Also known as Read the fine print. Under each database you will see two things. Source Information Tells you the digital location Tells you the original records those digital records are based on. Information about the record. This tells you how what the record is and how to use it. If you are unfamiliar with a record, I suggest reading this. 13

14 Source Information 1930 U.S. Census Bremen, Germany Sailors Registry,

15 Source Information for 1936 Phoenix City Directory Searching the U.S. Federal Census Ancestry is an excellent way to search the U.S. Federal Census. You can browse an area by Enumeration District. You can search various census years through a variety of means. Surname, given name, birth place, place of residence, parents birth 15

16 Browsing The Census By Location Browsing a Specific Census Year 16

17 Results View Record 17

18 Important Fields In The Viewer PRINTING 18

19 SAVING Birth, Marriage and Death 19

20 or, VITAL RECORDS!! Texas Birth Certificates 20

21 Why Are You Here? It s worth your while to choose between birth, marriage or death before searching. You also want to use the same sort of thought process in searching for the event. NOT ALL EVENTS ARE ON ANCESTRY. If you do a broad search and expect to find results in a certain place, make sure there s a database for that place! You can narrow by place first, then vital records, or vital records, then place. Vital Record Search Tidbits Index, Abstract or Certificate? Are you looking at an index of the information, a more complete abstract of the information, or a scanned image of the document? Remember to look at the Source Information. Social Security Death Index Ancestry does not provide this number in the Social Security Death Index for any person that has passed away within the past 10 years. 21

22 Suggestions Hints/Suggestions It s worth looking at Ancestry s suggestions. Due to the large number of databases, you may find something you hadn t thought to look for. However, these matches are sometimes incorrect. The common one I ve seen is two people with the same name on the same Census year. Compare it to what you know to see if it belongs. This comes from the computer, not a person! 22

23 Saving Time With Hints Hints has tended to suggest me other census years, which I used to have to look up manually. If it skips a decade Shows family in the same place in 1900 and 1920, but NOT 1910 try seeing what you can find by centering on other family members. Hints may also reveal married names for women Shanks Suggestions 23
