The Memories FIND feature is a tool that everyone should be familiar with.

A really cool tool for finding items in FamilySearch memories among the BILLIONS of items that have been uploaded by MILLIONS of users.

see: https://www.familysearch.org/photos/find

A few tips:

* when using MULTIPLE SEARCH terms - be sure and connect such terms with a capital AND

example YANCEY AND BIBLE

it will not force the AND unless it is in capital. (even though the query will return data)


* when wanting to find terms that are NEXT to each other

be sure to surround the words with Quotes.

example "FAMILY BIBLE"


Note you can also filter your search by JUST images or JUST audio files etc.


some cool searches

SMITH AND REGISTER

    Search images definitely has its place and value. But with FS memories you can search on key words. Titles names. Etc. which you can’t with images. Because the images have not yet been indexed. Also FS memories are most all already tagged to the corresponding family
