How To Easily Transfer Records Using Record Seek

Using Record Seek to save documents for family history

We all know how important it is to document our genealogy research. Not only does it help to verify the correctness and location of the information, but it is extremely helpful when you need to find it again. I have come across some exciting information in Family Search and Ancestry for an ancestor, only to discover that the person who added the data gave no indication of where they found it. I think that happens a lot because many people just don’t know how to create a source for their discoveries. But, one of the greatest blessings of having online trees is the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other! And I always want to give thanks and credit where it is due!

So if you have ever found a record, document, book, or any other source for an ancestor and wanted to save it to your tree but didn’t know how, then this tutorial is for YOU!  I hope you will love learning how quick, easy, and convenient it is  to create these sources in Family Search or Ancestry using Record Seek. Feel free to leave any other questions below.

You can find the Record Seek extension HERE.

      Hi Gigi. I didn’t show it in that video but will work on making a video on that this week. I’ll add it to this post as well. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
