A search for records from 1625 to 2024 has 710,339,386 results, up from 540,972,674 on 24 November.
Almost all are for the US, which accounts for 657,121,018, or 93% of the results.
Despite having very little US ancestry, the addition did fill a gap, providing a record of my two-times great-grandfather, William Henry Northwood, taking out US citizenship on 8 June 1887 in Leavenworth, Kansas.
UPDATE
In episode 19 of the Family History AI Show, just released, Mark Thompson and Steve Little rate the FamilySearch Full Test Search as the top AI breakthrough for genealogists in 2024.
While I appreciate Full-text Search as it’s not generative AI, I often find the results so overwhelming I just back right out. Will have to spend some dedicated time with it perfecting what filtering is available.
I just tried Keel in Kent, England, 1700-1800 as search parameters and it returned results from all over the UK and well outside the defined period.
Interestingly, it didn’t find either the will of William Keel or that of his brother, Robert.
