===FamilySearch Explore Images - Links to Digital Images - No Template===
FamilySearch Explore Images is a part of the FamilySearch.org giving access to all online images on the website and available to the user. (Some restrictions apply to viewing the images at a local family history center.) To access these records in a reasonable way, a link to the results list for locality and record type may be provided in the Wiki.
*'''Dates:''' If dates to the results list could be ascertained quickly, an estimated range can be added to the beginning of the link as seen used by other online collection database links on the Wiki.
*'''Limited Scope:''' It is suggested a narrow search should be made to provide a reasonable results list easily reviewed by the user.
