You may know that Lucretia is Isaac's wife, but it doesn't say so on the 1860 census. Thanks for highlighting this situation for users. I use FamilySearch Record Search quite a bit for some specific databases, like Ohio death certificates. But unless you are working with a very unusual name, searching all the databases for America at once doesn't work very well. The additional frustration is that some records (like the 1860 census) are actually available on another (in this case pay subscription) site. Luckily, I subscribe to Ancestry, so on those occasions when I find a census entry on Family Search that is not viewable there, I can go to Ancestry and locate it. Still, I have found Family Search very helpful in certain situations.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484884075457514695noreply@blogger.com
