"GOOGLE
SEARCH FOR ANY CITY, COUNTY, STATE OR PERSON" |
|
ANY
COUNTRY'S GENEALOGY DATABASES
Type in the Google search box the
name of the country then any of the following: ~genealogy, passenger
list, library, census, birth record, vital records, probate records, war
records, family tree, tax records, land records, coat of arms, or
Cuban
~genealogy,
England passenger list 1850, Canadian migration.
or
passenger list England "Bob Hope"
Some databases require one to search for the person after
the data base is entered. In
most cases the name can be included in the original search.
Also try the name in reverse order, last name first comma first name,
with alternate spellings or with the spellings from the mother country. Note:
the Tilda (~) next to the word genealogy means anything similar to
genealogy.
Any
COUNTY or any CITY or any STATE'S GENEALOGY DATABASE
Type the name of the City, County or State with any of the following
information: Cemeteries,
Newspapers, Passenger List, websites, Genealogy, genealogy society, Library or
Archives, Tax Records, Land Records. An
example of this technique: California"Newspaper
Archive" or Chicago
Death Index or
Moscow Russia "genealogical society" or
Newspapers of Fresno California Russian
cemeteries in new York
or Russian Cemeteries in St. Petersburg
or St. Petersburg
Russia Obituaries or Arizona
Obituaries or Kansas City "Probate Records"
or
Anaheim California genealogical society or
ORANGE COUNTY PROBATE RECORDS or
Kern
County California Land Records or
Arizona Probate Records
To search for a SPECIFIC
PERSON
with Google.com as the search engine.
Type into Google search box the name of the person.
For example: John
Smith ~genealogy
or "Henry * Rone" ~genealogy
Note: the * stands for any name. The Tilda has a space in front of it
but not behind it. "John
L. Jonson" OR "John Johnson" ~genealogy The capital
OR will search for these spellings variations.
"John
* Smith" born 1870
Note: the ( *) stands for any complete name. "John
Smith" OR "Mary Jones" Note:
This search produces either person or both "John
Smith" +"Mary Jones"
Note: with the (+) both
names must be in the search results. The
+sigh must be next to the next symbol, letter or number i.e. no spaces except
in front of the plus sign.
When there are too
many search results as
determined by the number just below the Google search window add more limiting
factors. Add
the first name of the spouse, then try the State, County or City.
Try the year of birth or death or range with two dot between as follows
1886..1940 or other specific information about the individual.
This is a trial and error technique.
If you see things in the search results that you do not want put a
minus sign immediately before that word in the search box.
Then these things will not be in the new search results.
HINTS
AND HELPS Check
www.books.google.com Free
printouts for books that are out of copyright (before 1924). and
www.google.com/news for your family member. Google
Newspaper Archive is usually free. And then using worldcat.org you might find
the in copyright book in a library nearby. Check
www.worldcat.org for family member, books or newspapers.
(10,000 Libraries) Note:
The book you want may be in a library near your zip code, so enter your
zip code. If it is far away you
can make an inter-library loan and have it sent to the main library in Anaheim
on Harbor Blvd. or to the Huntington Beach Library where it can be scanned and
copied.. Open
WORDPAD
or any word processing program. Copy and paste into it the web links you
intend to search as well as the web address of the Google search results page.
This helps to make a record of what you have searched and when you find
something, copy and past your finding below
that link in your word processing program.
This makes an electronic record and avoids confusion. Open
a New Window or a New tab using a right mouse click and choosing
from the window. This allows you
to keep your Google results page. Some
people leave many tabs open and only close a tab when it is well searched.
Some prefer to close the new window and defaulting to the
results page. Note: If you close
all tabs, then the search results page also closes. Tabs can be close
separately by clicking on the X
in that tab. Note: All Google searches are case insensitive. Use
the CTRL+F keys to search through the database.
This search or find command will speed
up searching for names or places or dates.
Hold the control key down and press the F key on the keyboard one time.
This opens a Find box. It will highlight the name, state or date you
enter into the search box, if it is on the page or website several pages into
it. Press Enter or Click Next. Places
to search on the Web and in person. First
find the database you want to search then submit the name of the person you
are researching. Sometimes you
can submit the name and the database at the same time.
I find that adding the word FREE to the some searches makes my life
easier. Other words that help are INDEX and the spelled out name of the State.
