 All Family History Library materials (microfilm, microfiche, books, CDs, etc.) are cataloged a variety of ways to help you more easily locate them.&nbsp; You may find what you're looking for by searching for a place (e.g., Pike County, Illinois), or by the category of records (e.g., Military records) or by your family surname.&nbsp; The same roll of microfilm or book or microfiche may be catalogued two or three or more ways.&nbsp; There are eight types of searches are available to help you locate information to help you in your family history research:<br>
-#Place search
+#[https://familysearch.org/#form=catalog&catSearchType=place Place]&nbsp;
-#Surname search
+#[https://familysearch.org/#form=catalog&catSearchType=surname Surname&nbsp;]
