Yes, I can add it as a "Personal Favorites" but when I try to open FamilySearch.org from within FTM2012, I get script errors that make the site unusable. Has anybody else had this problem?????Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373650862487063381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-61138210949829980452012-10-10T12:02:06.603-07:002012-10-10T12:02:06.603-07:00Randy,

I am sure I have posted about it before, but will post some updates.<br /><br />The biggest reason for searching from within FTM2012 are at least 3 fold: 1) the ability to have a View Online Source, from within FTM2012, 2) the Web Clipping tool, when searching other websites, and 3) the ability to look at my database, while still in the Web Search Workspace.<br /><br />Like Elizabeth, I have a number of other Websites, where I have other 'favorite' websites at my finger tips.<br /><br />What I do, totally, agree with you, is the Citation information that is provided by Ancestry. They do NOT conform to Evidence Explained!. Having said that, it doesn't take long to make the non-conforming Citations into the Template format.<br /><br />I do have to say, that it may be easier for me, because I use the Web Search workspace daily.<br /><br />Great Article. Thank you.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-46559192975603665462012-10-10T11:29:25.766-07:002012-10-10T11:29:25.766-07:00Randy, you note that FTM 2012 searches only three ...Randy, you note that FTM 2012 searches only three databases. Note at the bottom of that box with the list of websites are two buttons NEW and MANAGE FAVORITES. This is where you can add your favorite searchable databases, such as FamilySearch.org or AmericanAncestors.org.<br /><br />That being said, I, like you, prefer to do my searches on the website directly in my web browser (and it's often faster that way).Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27885875673747624912012-10-10T11:26:29.304-07:002012-10-10T11:26:29.304-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.com
