    Find by ID. I use it all the time. :)

    Gordon Collett said: Where available, the Recents menu gives the quickest access for typing in the ID:



    However, from the way you phrased your question I wonder if you had something else in mind. You really can't search by ID, all you can do is jump to that page. The ID isn't associated with any source or record information. Are you hoping for a function that if you typed in an ID number, the search engine would take the Family Tree information from the page, fill in the search form automatically, then do a search for records? If that is what you are looking for, then go to the person's individual Family Tree page and use the links in the right hand column:



    These links take the person's information and fill it in the record search engine for those sites then does a search for records.

    For your example:
    https: // www.familysearch.org / tree / person / ordinances / KFBC-233
    But, actually without 'spaces':
    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per...

    For any individual/person:
    https: / /www.familysearch.org / tree / person / ordinances / [xxxx-xxx]
    where [xxxx-xxx] represents any 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID).
    And, again; but, actually without 'spaces':
    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per...
