Many of you FS users may use the FS SEARCH / RECORDS option

https://www.familysearch.org/search/

but many of you may also become frustrated when you feel your desired search results are being "crowded out" by records that come form a source you are not interested in.

Such as maybe recent US census records that be seem to "crowd out" records hat you are looking for - like maybe a probate record - or a state or county based record.

Note that you can see the ENTIRE list of historical records by visiting this link:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list?count=20

You can also search by region/country

https://www.familysearch.org/search/location/list


so don't think the default search record option is always the best way to find your desired records - looks for ways like this that are available to focus your searches.

    Where in the world did Historical Records go? I can not find the Kent County, England Wills page, anywhere, and I use it almost daily, I hate the changes to historical records, will try to find them some other way, but you have made it almost impossible to find what I need today. also, making an appointment is impossible because all I can use is Zoom, I do not, and will not have a Google account. How do I get help?
