Dallas Public Library Genealogy Specialist Ari Wilkins will demonstrate ways to combine data from census records, Sanborn maps and city directories to create a robust social history of your ancestor's past.

Most people use it to search genealogical records by the name of their deceased ancestors. But did you know that only 20% of FamilySearch's records are indexed?
