Searching: Best Practices

FamilySearch Explore Images is a new and evolving platform for searching digitized historical records. Once any of these fields are searched, more search parameters can be entered to focus the search results. If you are interested in helping to improve the data for any one of these projects and have a FamilySearch account, please contact Joseph La Fazia: joseph.lafazia@familysearch.org.

Locality

The place used to organize the images in this database describes where the records were created and not where the life event took place; in some cases these places are the same. When searching a specific place, the search results will include all images that are described by that place and any other images described by a place within the jurisdiction.

Dates

The date used to organize the images in this database describes when the records were created and not when the life event took place; in some cases these dates are the same or similar.

Record Types & Life Events

You may search by a major life event first, then specify a record type.

Image Group Number (DGS)

In many cases historical records are not digitized in any particular order, so the Image Group Number (DGS) cannot be used to determine record type and date range order. However, when you do find the record pertaining to an ancestor, it is always helpful to log the DGS number for future reference because you can search Explore Images by entering the DGS in the Image Group Number search field.

Custodian

When this data is available, it is hyperlinked. Clicking on the hyperlinked Custodian will take you to a search results screen showing all images FamilySearch has acquired from that Custodian.

Keyword

This field allows you to search open-text fields (not standardized), so it is helpful if searching for a specific volume, archive reference number, and/or manuscript title (Record Title). When subject names are included in any of these fields, then those names become a keyword. Use double quotation marks (") around the search term. Separate multiple search terms by a single comma in between each term. When searching for specific microfilm numbers that were digitized, search the microfilm number without quotation marks.

DGS stands for Digital Genealogical Society also known as an Image Group Number. Each set of digital images is assigned a DGS number for identification purposes.
