I thought this would be a really easy assignment because I have used Ancestry Library some already. But, not all of it was simple. First, the tutorials were very straightforward. One thing I found here that I had never noticed before was the family tree chart which will be very useful.
When I looked under the alphabetical listings for Heritage Quest and Sanborn Maps, I couldn't find either of them.
In Ancestry Library, I started by looking for myself. When I put in just my name, date of birth, and town where I had lived, I didn't come up with anything. However, when I added some other family member names and a marriage date, I did come up with a marriage certificate. No matter how much information I added, I never did come up with my birth certificate.
I looked up one of my grandfathers and easily found him in the 1910 census when he was 3 years old.
I tried to perform a search under the photos and maps tab, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
So, I guess that I can do a basic ancestor search, but still have more to learn in Ancestry Library.
The lesson mistakenly listed Heritage Quest and the Sanborn map databases. We don't have access to those via Marvel. Our bad. Sorry for the confusion.
