Someone shared this article with me today, and I thought it was really cool. Did you know you can thank the people who indexed the records that you use in your research?

Also, I used those hastags to be silly, but it turns out that the community pages actually support hashtags!! Who knew?!

​​For those of you who don't know, hashtags (#) link similar posts, so if you couched on something with a hashtag (example #DutchRecords ) you could click on the little link and it would take you to a page with all the other posts with include that hashtag. (In this case, a whole bunch of posts about Dutch records)

Love to see this, I guess I am getting older and the # sign still means pounds to me... Maybe you could walk me through it next time we meet!

haha. Maybe. All you have to do is click on Dutch Records. It will take you to a page with other stuff on Dutch Records. To make a Hashtag, you just use the pound sign, start typing and it will give you options to link to. #Indexing​

Thanks for pointing us to the article that explains how this happens.
