NEEDLEWORK SAMPLERS for Your ancestors or relatives?

Dennis J Yancey

Over 5,000 Needlework Samplers with Family Genealogical info have been uploaded to FS Memories.

You can do a SURNAME search on them at this page:

https://www.familysearch.org/photos/find?searchTerms=ADAMS%20AND%20SAMPLER&searchType=text-search&searchCategories=IMAGE%2CPDF%2CTEXT%2CAUDIO%2CALBUM&page=1&maxRecords=50&firstRecord=0&_=1642717958890

The above is a search for Samplers for families by surname ADAMS

You can simply replace the surname ADAMS with your own surname of interest and re-execute the query

with any item you find you can see who it is attached to - and you can select the "View my Relationship" and see how you are related to the maker/family of the sampler.

Please note that when you do a COMPOUND SEARCH (a search with two search terms)

such as ADAMS AND SAMPLER

... or any other similar search with multiple terms.

The AND must be in UPPER CASE (and not lower case)

or the AND operator will not work as expected.
