  • Family search

    When I first started doing the hobby of family history, on Family Search it was possible to enter parents names and possibly a bit more detail and up would come a list of possible children of the named parents!

    Does anyone know if this is still possible and if so, how do I do it?

    Hi

    If you click on search at the top of the page and records.

    Down the left had side under birthplace there is spouse, parents or other person to click onto.

    I struggle with family search these days. If you want a baptism record you seem to end up with everything under the sun as well.

    Good luck

      You can use the batch number to do this type of search if you have it from one record found.

        Will try them and see how I get on.

          On the bottom left below all the other search options such as spouse and parents is "Type". Click this and you can choose baptisms from the list.
