Have you ever been searching for information to expand your family tree, only to hit a dead end? Maybe you were looking for parents, or children of your ancestor to attach to your family tree. Perhaps you have done a thorough search for the record, on FamilySearch and partner sites; (Ancestry, Find My Past, My Heritage, or Geneanet) but have given up. With newly indexed records available at FamilySearch, that have only been available for a short time, It might be time to take another look, for that elusive information about your ancestor.

In a recent article written by Laurie Bradshaw; New Records on FamilySearch from January 2020 and posted to the FamilySearch Blog, she lists the numerous new records that are now available. You will find descriptions of the newly available records with links to the records. So Give it a try, see if these new records have information that will help you with your family research. Remember “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again.” (Thomas H. Palmer, Teachers Manual 1840.) —-Elaine Hardman
