Ancestry.com Search Template

In my genealogy classes at Tri County Community college this week, the subject came up about the useless search basic and advanced search templates located on the home page of the popular genealogy service Ancestry.com. I mentioned in class that I would post a link to my favorite search template that I use on the site here on the blog.


So if you are looking for something a bit more user friendly, click on the "Search" tab at the top of any of the main pages or bookmark this link: http://www.ancestry.com/search/Default.aspx


Take a few minutes to famaliarize yourself with all the options you have on this page including the locality search at the bottom of the page and the record category search down the right side of the page.
