FamlySearch - list of all US records
« on: Wednesday 23 July 14 03:47 BST (UK) »
It used to be that if you selected 'United States' at FamilySearch, you got a list of all the data sets for all the state and federal records.  They seem to have changed that and now you have to select just one state at a time.  I don't like it.  I have people all over the country and it was my practice to go down the entire list from time to time to see what new data had been added that might be useful to me.  That is now a big hassle.  Is there any way to force it to show the whole list for all the states together? 
Wiltshire:  Banks, Taylor
Somerset:  Duddridge, Richards, Barnard, Pillinger
Gloucestershire:  Barnard, Marsh, Crossman
Bristol:  Banks, Duddridge, Barnard
Down:  Ennis, McGee
Wicklow:  Chapman, Pepper
Wigtownshire:  Logan, Conning
Wisconsin:  Ennis, Chapman, Logan, Ware
Maine:  Ware, Mitchell, Tarr, Davis

Hi Erato

Try this, On home page select Browse All Published Collections
When it has finished loading Select United States from Place on left hand side
When finished Loading there should be a complete list of the 834 United States Collections

Thanks!  I must have been tired last night.  I didn't even see 'browse all.'

It used to be easier to find. They have reduced it from a list of countries to just browse all. I took ages to find it last week :)
