'''SECOND,''' What are FamilySearch browsable images?<br>Browsable images are records that have not yet been indexed for the computer search engines by FamilySearch. Since the images were digitized from the microfilm and microfiche records at the FamilySearch Library, they have the same look as the records on microfilm with the only difference being that an arrow is clicked to turn pages rather than turning the handle of a microfilm reader. Therefore, if a set of records on microfilm includes an index, the browsable images will include that same index.<br><br>The following are examples of "browse images" records and how to navigate them: | '''SECOND,''' What are FamilySearch browsable images?<br>Browsable images are records that have not yet been indexed for the computer search engines by FamilySearch.

7. Very important! You do NOT need to turn each page because now the game begins! See how mathematically oriented you are. Make a guess as to how far ahead you believe the needed image might be and type the number in the box next to the word "Image." If you tried the number 300, you would notice this was page 588. You might then type in the number 310, which ends up at page 608. Then, try image 318 and VOILA! you are at the correct page of 624. It only took three clicks to get there. If you land close to the page, you could then turn pages one by one using the arrows at the far right side of the page or jump ahead or behind in increments of 5's or 10's. | 7. Very important!

5. Note that this section has 748 images. Wow! how will you ever find your great grandmother Smith? To begin, you might start in the middle of the images and type 400 in the box next to the word "Image" and press your enter key. This takes you to a page that begins with the name Timarnoff, so it is too far. Try again with the number 200 which begins with the name Smalley. You might then try the number 250 which begins with the name Sparks. Next, go to 225 which is right in the middle of the Smith surnames. Now you can turn the page one by one using the turn the page arrows found on the far right side of the heading box or jump ahead or behind in increments of 5's or 10's. | 5.
