The Record Search Pilot is the newest tool for you to use at FamilySearch Labs.

Three things you are able to do with this new tool:

1) Search for records that have been indexed and view the transcribed information

a) Social Security Death Index, US 1880 Census, Texas State Death, Ontario Death, …

2) Search for records that have been indexed and view the original image and the transcribed information

a) US 1900 Census (AL, AZ, ID, UT), Ohio State Death, Utah State Death, Ellis Island, ….

3) Find and view images that have not yet been indexed

a) 1930 Mexico Census, World War II Draft Cards, Durham Bishop Transcripts, US 1900 Census (states not yet indexed)

You will need to register before using Record Search by clicking on Record Search and then on Register to use Record Search. It can take a day or more to be activated once you have registered.  Please use the Feedback link in the product to tell us what works and what does not.
