GenealogyBank has added a new save feature that lets you save searches \u2013 or individual records \u2013 in your own special folder for viewing later.<\/p>\n

According to Scott Spencer, GenealogyBank’s Vice President, Customer Experience:<\/p>\n

This has been a long anticipated \u2013 and highly requested \u2013 feature and should greatly assist customers in organizing their searches and discoveries while saving them time. Users can return to the site and immediately pick up where they left off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new save feature has three different functions: save an entire search; save where you left off when last going through search results; and save an individual article or record.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works. Let\u2019s say you do a general search from GenealogyBank\u2019s homepage (the same save feature is available for a search from any individual collection, such as the Historical Newspaper Archives<\/a>). For example, we\u2019ll do a general search for \u201cBartlett.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Search Results page shows how many \u201chits\u201d there are for the name you searched on, and in what collections the name can be found. Notice the new save feature right at the top of the Search Results page.<\/p>\n

By clicking on the \u201cSave My Search\u201d link, GenealogyBank creates a folder for you and saves the search so that you can return to it again and again.<\/p>\n

Next time you use GenealogyBank, just click on the \u201cMy Folder\u201d tab on top of the homepage.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside your \u201cMy Folder\u201d you will find your saved search waiting for you in the \u201cSaved Searches\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re looking through your search results, but have to end your session before you get through them all? When you return, you don\u2019t have to start over from the beginning: one of the new save functions lets you record where you left off, so that you can start right there when you return.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re on search results page #10 when you want to end your session \u2013 and you want to continue to view that same results page at the same place when you return \u2013 you can save your place on page #10 and pick up right where you left off the next day or the following week. Just click on the \u201cSave My Place\u201d link at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

When you next open up \u201cMy Folder,\u201d you will find your place has been saved in the \u201cSaved Searches\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

You can also save an individual record. Let\u2019s say you find a really useful newspaper article about your ancestor, perhaps a detailed obituary, and you want to save it. Just click on the \u201cSave to My Folder\u201d feature on top to save that article.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you click on the \u201cSave to My Folder\u201d feature, it changes to read \u201cSaved in My Folder\u201d to show you that the save was successful.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, any time you want, just open up the \u201cSaved Articles\u201d tab in your \u201cMy Folder\u201d (as opposed to the \u201cSaved Searches\u201d tab), and your article is there waiting for you.<\/p>\n

We hope you find this new save feature helpful as you search GenealogyBank\u2019s extensive and varied collections of records. Good luck with your family history research!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
