Hidden in Plain Sight deals primarily with using websites like FamilySearch that have large collections of unindexed records and how to navigate them. They're online, but it's not always obvious and it's not always intuitive how to use them. This is often true of records such as deeds and probate/other court files. Katy will also be covering FamilySearch's new "Full Text Search" tool in this lecture.
