SUMMARY:NWDFHG meeting - Family Search Full-Text Search
DESCRIPTION:The Narre Warren and District Family History Group invite you to their general meeting. The guest speaker is Alan Fleming from FamilySearch who is going to show how the Full-Text Search tool from FamilySearch will transform your family history research. FamilySearch’s Full-Text Search is a tool that lets you search almost 2 billion historical records that haven’t been indexed yet. It uses AI to read and interpret text directly from document images. Available collections include nearly every type of historical record imaginable\, from church registers and court documents to military files\, newspapers\, personal letters\, land deeds\, and more. \nThe regular search looks at data that has been transcribed and indexed. In many projects\, this might be just a small portion of the document—often just a name and date. Full-Text Search\, by contrast\, scans the entire document. It lets you search the full sentences and paragraphs that usually go untouched in a regular indexing project. \nAlan’s presentation will commence at 7.30 pm followed by a short break and the business part of the meeting. Visitors are always welcome. \nVenue: 110 High Street\, Berwick. Cost $5.00. More information: secretary@nwfhg.org.au
