New Multi Search for Genealogists
A new multi-site family history search has been discovered recently. Roots-Search allows the user to enter the search criteria once but then search many different sites.
The screenshot shows 6 possible search sites as standard: Ancestry, Family Search, Find A Grave, Find My Past, Mocavo and My Heritage.
The search options can be extended to include another 18 different sites including American Ancestors, Billion Graves, Fold3, Genealogy Bank, Geneanet and quite a few more.
Some of these search sites are subscription based so you will only get to see the results if you are a current subscriber.
It is however a worthy addition to the genealogists armoury of search tools.
The Roots-Search website describes the facility as a browser add-on for the Chrome browser but I have found the facility can be accessed directly from any browser at www.rootsearch.io/search without the use of any add-ons.
