    For a list of suggestions on how to broaden your search when stuck, go to the question mark inside of the circle at the top right of FamilySearch, click on it, in the search box type in "research help." You might also want to take advantage of the 20 minute free consultation with an expert at the Family History Library. How to Sign-up for Online Consultation

    "Using the FamilySearch Research Wiki, guests can schedule specific time slots in English or Spanish for their 20-minute online consultation. The booking app provides time schedule information in the guest’s own local time to simplify making the connection across time zones."

    We would like to help you, but to do so we need some information. Who is your ancestor and what is the ID number? What do you already know about this family, ie. name, dates, places?

     

    The ID number is located under the name of your ancestor:

    My ancestor is Johann Ferdinand Rudolf Wilhelm Hermann Engel (whew), ID K87J-PMC. I know his birth, christening, marriage, and death dates and places. I know all the data for his wife. I just recently found a child. This child was born 6 years after they were married. I have proof of that in from a birth document. I would like to know how I can go to some of the sources listed for this ancestor and find if he had other children born earlier in their marriage? As you can tell, I can lost as a reasearcher. Thanks so much for your help
