FamilySearch has a number of indexes to census, vital, and other records. These may come up when a search is performed. But….
There are records on FamilySearch that are not indexed. In some cases, FamilySearch has essentially “put rolls of microfilmed records” online. These records are often unindexed, although some may be alphabetical in nature, having indexes in each volume or an index created by the original record holder that was also microfilmed.
But if you are only using on FamilySearch what you find by a name search, then you are missing out.

So what methods would you suggest to get at this un-indexed info?
I would be most interested to know how to access unindexed records on Family Search.
We’ll do some follow up tips with that information.
