When any index takes you to an image in a set of images or a page in a record book, look at images and pages before for additional images or additional pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ancestry.com’s index to Missouri probate records<\/a> <\/a>indicated that there were a few pages for a man named George Trask who died in St. Louis in the 1860s<\/a>. Scrolling beyond the initial ones indicated there were well over 100 images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whenever I locate a land record for a relative in the local office’s land record books, I look at the deeds recorded before and after the one I found in case the person recorded multiple deeds at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you find any record for a person, make certain you have the whole item or set of images. Browsing before and after what you found is a good way to do that when the record is digitized or contained in a record book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll be taking a group to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City this summer<\/a>. Our trip is no-frills, focused on research, and not full of \u201cforced group\u201d activities\u2013and our price is reasonable. Check it out.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
