IN THE SPOTLIGHT: >> >>If you have already received this we would like to let you in on a little >>secret. Your >>quality genealogical resource is running a huge discount special extended >>past >>the original cut off date. This special is only available to a small >>amount of new >>members and only at the URL >> >>http://www.familydiscovery.com/ >> >>If you have not already taken advantage of their special offer we suggest >>you do >>so very soon.

They >>provide a unique service that many researchers don't understand. When it >>comes >>down to it, they offer a pay for use search engine. At first, this sounds >>like an absurd >>place to spend your time. I mean, there are tons of free search engines >>out there, >>why would someone pay for access to one? >> >>Well, we have discovered that they offer a service that saves an online >>genealogy >>researcher an enormous amount of time. They have brought together >>genealogists from all around the world and allowed their clients to access >>their >>research on a direct link basis. >> >>Your regular genealogy search engine or directory, like Cyndi's List for >>example, >>are great sources of information. But Family Discovery has taken the >>genealogy >>search engine to a different level. They have created an engine that >>takes you >>directly to the information you are looking for. >> >>Let's walk through the steps of using a normal search engine. When you >>first >>access one, you enter in your ancestors names and/or information that you >>are >>searching for. The search engine will then bring up a list of all the web >>sites that list >>your keywords in their descriptions. This is when your searching starts. >>You look >>for the most relevant links to click on to start exploring the web site >>looking for >>relevant records. >> >>The problem that we have found with this is, that it takes an extremely >>long time to >>search through all the links and then search through all the web sites >>looking for >>your information. This is where Family Discovery's services come in. >> >>They have created a search engine that does everything the other normal >>ones do, >>plus more. Now, let's walk though the steps involved when using their >>search >>engine. >> >>When you access their search engine, you enter in your ancestors names >>and/or >>information that you are interested in, just like the other engines. The >>search engine >>will then bring up a list of the web sites that actually contain the >>documents you are >>searching for. Each item on the list is followed by a description of the >>information >>contained within. When you click on the link, it takes you directly to >>the page within >>the web site that contains the keywords that you entered in. This is what >>makes it >>possible for them to charge a fee for using the search engine. It saves >>you an >>enormous amount of searching time. >> >>So after a complete evaluation of their services, we have concluded that >>they do >>provide an important search tool that actually takes specific steps to >>save you >>researching time.
