The up-to-date scope of the search engine, with unabridged titles, can be viewed at
http://genealogyindexer.org/directories, http://genealogyindexer.org/yizkor,httpl.//genealogyindexer.org/military, and
http://genealogyindexer.org/history. lt is not necessary to check the scope before searching, unless too many irrelevant
results are returned when searching without restrictions (by default, all sources are searched). lf too many results are
returned, restricting searches geographically or with advanced search syntax may help.
First-time users of the site are encouraged to read the instructions at http://genealogyindexer.orglhelp, view advanced
search syntax at http://genealogyindexer.org/advanced, and browse the forums at http://genealogyindexer.org/forum
(especially, Announcements, Strategies, Related Sites, and Notes). Please use the forums liberally to ask for help, after
you have tried searching yourself, and include full details about what you are searching for, just as you would if posting
to a genealogy mailing list.
Most of the sources searchable at http://genealogyindexer.org are viewable (but not searchable) elsewhere online, but
several of the sources are only viewable at http://genealogyindexer.org, having been scanned specifically so that they
could be made searchable on the site. lf you possess an historical directory or other lengthy, typewritten genealogical
source that you would tike to see online and searchable, please contact me. For an example of image presentation on
the site, search for zalcbergos and follow any of the resulting links to search matches. Or, if you would like to fund the
acquisition of specific sources of interest to you, please contact me.
