Update: More Show Me Videos

A month ago, we wrote a blog article about two new Show Me videos: Project 1 Overview and Project 1: Goal 1. They give you step-by-step visual examples of how to use the features in The Family History Guide for Project 1: FamilySearch Family Tree.

A lot has happened in just one month, as we have introduced four new Show Me videos on our YouTube Channel. Each Show Me video is also available in the header area for the Project and Goal is corresponds to.

Here’s a list of the Show Me videos with brief descriptions and links:

  • Projects Overview—How to navigate the Goals and Choices in the Projects of The Family History Guide.
  • Project 1: Goal 1—Learn FamilySearch Project 1, Goal 1, including sign-in, basic navigation, and privacy rules.
  • Project 1: Goal 2—Learn about Summary Cards, Person Pages, charts, and Time Lines.
  • Project 1: Goal 3—Learn about viewing details for children and spouses, as well as the Family Members section of the Person Page.
  • Project 1: Goal 4—Learn to use the Find menu and Recents menu to quickly locate people in your tree.
  • Project 1: Goal 5—Learn how to use alternate views, such as Portrait, Fan Chart, Virtual Pedigree, etc.

What’s Next …

There are many more Show Me videos to come! The plan is to produce one for nearly every Goal in the FamilySearch Projects … and then to cover the Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Findmypast Projects as well. Be sure to check out the Show Me videos, whether on our YouTube Channel or from the header area in the Project pages of The Family History Guide.
