Record Seek

RecordSeek and connecting records to the Tree

 RecordSeek is an easy way to submit a web URL to reference a page or an uploaded image as a source for a person in FamilySearch. Once you have the bookmarklet (a browser add-in) installed, go to any online website, and when you find a source, in your Bookmark Toolbar, click Tree Connect to attach it to a person in FamilySearch Family Tree.

Go to https://recordseek.com/ and drag the green Record Seek bookmarklet to your bookmark bar. 

Once you have the bookmarklet (browser add-in) installed, go to any online website, and when you see a source for your ancestor, click Tree Connect in your Bookmark Toolbar to add the information to your Source Box in FamilySearch Family Tree. 

Note: If you highlight any information on the site before you click the bookmarklet, this will add the highlighted information to the Notes in Describe the Record. This is a good option when the site is a subscription site, and others can still view the information that you have placed in the notes. 

RecordSeek  will create a source and identify the website you have found. It will include:

• Source Title
• Citation (where the record is found)
• Notes (describe the record)
• Source Box (folder selection)

Click Save. 

Record Seek will verify your FamilySearch Account and add the source to your source box.
Click on Tag this source to Events to choose from the dropdown to tag.

On the next page, add the person's ID Number, and click on Next. The source will be added to the ancestor and will also go into your Source Box.  

From the following page you can add this source to other IDs as well. You could also add it to their record from the Source Box.
