for a specific database of interest.
To search for a book or database, enter
important keywords from the title in the Search
Titles box in the upper-left corner. Results can then be sorted by Database Title, Date Added, Date Updated, Record Count and Popularity. It's important to know
that only words in a database or book title are searched, so don't just search
for an ancestor's surname and call it a day. You'll also want to try searches
for the locality (country, state, county, parish, town, etc.) or record type in
which you're researching. Alternatively, you can filter down through available
titles by Collection (record type), Location, Date and/or Language.
