Three Quick Genealogy Research Tips to Find Hidden Ancestors

Here are three quick genealogy record search tips. One is about the Associated Press Archived Records on Ancestry.com. Two, how to jump around in unindexed records to find hidden ancestors, and three, how to use the FHL numbers found in many records and how to locate those records on FamilySearch.org. 

For Ancestry members, here is the AP World collection. It is currently unindexed, but I’ve put the request into Ancestry to get them indexed using their AI technology. It is a fabulous collection. https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/50016/
